Sena-BJP’s ad blitzkrieg

quot;Are you going to silently watch the Congress’ intrigues and conspiracies creating chaos in Uttar Pradesh?quot; asks an ad issued by BJP in all language newspapers.

Another ad issued by the Sena has invited people to come and listen to Bal Thackeray and Atal Behari Vajpayee unmask the identity of those quot;behind the Coimbatore bomb blasts conspiracyquot; at the rally on Wednesday.

The ad using UP events as a peg, accuses Congressof first destabilising Gujarat. It charges the party with creating instability in UP and also refers to its threat of creating similar situations in Maharashtra and Rajasthan, where BJP-led governments are in power.
