BJP condemns Amar Singh's comments on Advani</b>
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Sunday termed Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh's comments that "Advani is a greater danger than Bush" as "an outlandish statement" aimed to conceal a "private deal." "A man who is doing a deal within a deal is trying to glorify himself by making outlandish statements," party spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said in a statement here.
Rudy alleged that the SP has entered into a "deal" with the Congress to save an another "deal". "The country knows Amar Singh in and out with or without his utterances. This is simply a ploy to conceal a private deal of the Samajwadi Party with the Congress to save another deal," he said.
Singh in a press conference on Saturday had said that BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani was a bigger threat than American President George Bush for the country. He also said that communalism was the most dangerous among all the problems faced by the country, seeking to justify his party's stand of moving closer to the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government which is pursuing the Indo-US nuclear deal. Singh also said Samajwadi Party's move was aimed at keeping communal parties (like BJP) away from power.
