CHENNAI, OCT. 3. The Janata Party president, Subramanian Swamy, today said that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government, headed by Manmohan Singh, had "failed on all fronts." He told reporters here that the country's "economy was in doldrums" and terrorism had begun to "rear its ugly head again" in Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The pro-Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam forces were "regrouping in Chennai and Rameswaram, with easy access to Jaffna via Pondicherry." He criticised the Centre's decision to dissolve the consultative committees of the Planning Commission following the Left parties' opposition to the inclusion of representatives of international funding agencies in the panels. Dr. Swamy said he would appear before the Returning Officer for the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha constituency on October 8 in connection with his complaint of September 20 that the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, had filed an affidavit during the Lok Sabha poll "falsely claiming that she had a degree from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom." Welcoming the reported remark of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam president, M. Karunanidhi, that he was not opposed to learning Hindi, Dr. Swamy urged the State Government to re-introduce the three-language formula.
