Gandhinagar, Mar 30: Senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani today said that he expected Lok Sabha elections to be held this year itself, as, according to him, Congress does not have much expectations from five states - Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Delhi, Jharkhand and Rajasthan which are going to assembly polls later this year.
Speaking to mediapersons here, Advani however added: “I do not confirm that elections will happen before 2014.”
Advani said, the results of Karnatka assembly polls are expected in May, and the Congress party does not have high hopes from the five states that will be going to polls later this year.
On Mulayam Singh blowing hot and cold against the UPA government, Advani said: : When the House was adjourned for an hour, I had a word with Mulayam Singh ji. He appeared to be unhappy with the present government.”
Advani said, “be it inflation or corruption, nothing has stopped since the holding of Commonwealth Games”.
