LS polls to be a referendum on leadership, quasi-presidential: Jaitley

Asserting that the run-up for the elections has begun, he said, “the writing on the wall is clear....rest assure that we will announce very soon...We are fully conscious of that.”



Delivering a lecture on “the current political situation in the country” organised by the Aurobindo Cultural Society here, the BJP leader claimed “anti-incumbency is writ large on the wall” and the country was looking for a change.

Holding that the UPA had no answer to the challenge posed by the BJP, he said all that it could do was to rely upon the 'dynastic leadership.'

“The UPA has no answer for this challenge. When the BJP has a proven leadership and from among them emerge a prominent personality, the Congress has only a dynasty to depend upon,” he said.
