Be prepared for early polls

"Whenever the UPA government faces instability, they start talking of early polls which further complicates the situation and they stop talking about it. Whether mid-term elections are held or not, we should remain prepared and remain in constant touch with the people", BJP Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha VK Malhotra quoted Vajpayee as saying.

The former Prime Minister was addressing the last Parliamentary party meeting of the Monsoon session this morning.

Expressing happiness over the Opposition's performance in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, he said they should take the message to the people at large.

Addressing the party MPs, Leader of Opposition and BJP President LK Advani termed as "wrong, mischievous and baseless" UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's charge that the Opposition changed its stand on the Women's Reservation Bill.
