We too can play that game, BJP tells Cong.

By Neena Vyas

PANAJI APRIL 12. The Bharatiya Janata Party president, Jana Krishnamurthi, today alleged that the Congress was trying to destabilise an elected Government in Gujarat by demanding the Chief Minister, Narendra Modi's resignation. He warned that the BJP could also play similar games.

Talking to newspersons earlier in the day, Mr. Krishnamurthy said elections in Gujarat were not far off and the Opposition could reach out to the people and come to power instead of trying to destabilise an elected Government.

He virtually warned the Congress that if it tried to play the destabilising game in Gujarat, "we can also play that game.''

Mr. Krishnamurthi also issued a warning to the press: "I want to tell the press, there should be a change of Government only through elections, otherwise the country will be heading for trouble.''
