<b>Letters</b>: BJP's volte-face

It is amusing to see the ruling BJP determined to do what it prevented the UPA from doing in 2012

With the Supreme Court refusing to hear a petition seeking a direction to the central government to postpone the Budget till Assembly polls in five states are over, all eyes are now on the Election Commission (EC) for how it would rule on a similar demand by the Opposition.

It is amusing to see the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) determined to do what it prevented the United Progressive Alliance from doing in 2012. Setting a healthy precedent, the Manmohan Singh-led government had accepted the BJP’s demand to present the Budget after the completion of the state polls. What a volte-face
