PM calls for introspection

NAINITAL MARCH 30. In a candid admission, the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, today said his Government was responsible ``up to some extent'' for the BJP's debacle in the recent Assembly elections and in the municipal polls in Delhi and called for ``introspection'' in this regard.

``To some extent, the Centre is also responsible for the recent outcome of the Assembly elections in four States as well as local body polls in Delhi. I think there is a need for introspection and analysis of these results (within the BJP),'' he told reporters.

The Prime Minister's remarks come close on the heels of the criticism by the Delhi BJP MPs and other leaders of the Union budget as being one of the main reasons for the party's defeat in the Delhi local polls. — PTI
