'UF is a 13-piece orchestra conducted from outside by Surjeet'
The Congress today described the United Front as a 13-piece orchestra
conducted from outside by Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Harkishen Singh Surjeet.
Holding the UF responsible for forcing elections on the country,
Congress spokesman V N Gadgil said the ''orchestra has neither harmony nor melody but jarred tunes and discordant notes''. Now people have to face the music, he told the media.
Gadgil said the UF did not accept the Congress's ''reasonable suggestions'' to end the crisis. ''We cited two examples when the United Front dropped ministers on the basis of criminal charges and findings of a commission -- former Union minister of state for home Mohammed Taslimuddin and M V Raghavan from the Left government in Kerala.
So the Congress demand for dropping the Dravida Munnetra Kazagham ministers's ouster from the Inder Kumar Gujral cabinet was fully justified, he said.
