Inflation, terrorism to be main poll issues for BJP
BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "The issues of price rise and terrorism are hurting the nation across all the barriers of region. And, the stand of leaders like Amar Singh on Batla House encounter has made the encounter a big issue even in the remotest part of the country." Prasad also said that the BJP would raise the issue of nuclear deal in Parliament and "make the House to draw a comparison between the 9-point assurance given by the Prime Minister in the Rajya Sabha".
