No political party is untouchable for BJP, says MM Joshi
Kolkata: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Murli Manohar Joshi on Thursday said that no political party is untouchable in politics and his party didn't believe in the untouchable-concept. Replying to a question whether BJP and the Left parties would
jointly agitate
on the price hike issues here, Joshi said the BJP would welcome every political
party to join. He said the Left parties and the BJP were jointly agitating on the
price hike issue in the Parliament. Speaking about the recently General Budget,
Joshi said it was anti-people, anti- farmers and anti-development. The budget
had also made the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherrjee's danseuse daughter
Sarmistha
Mukherjee unhappy. Sarmistha reportedly had sent a letter to Mukherjee asking
him to exempt artistes like herself from income tax and instead tax up to 95 percent
of the income of eve-teasers.
