After a CAG report rapped the Delhi [ Images ] government for irregularities in CWG projects and dragged the prime minister's office in the 2G spectrum case, the Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] on Sunday appeared all set to raise these issues in Parliament and even force adjournment of the two Houses.

The core group of the BJP Parliamentary party, which met under the leadership of L K Advani [ Images ] to decide its stand on these issues, including land acquisition, will unveil its strategy after a meeting of the National Democratic Alliance on Monday, senior BJP leader S S Ahluwalia [ Images ] told reporters.

"For the last few days, several corruption-related issues have come up. All such issues were discussed to finalise the party's strategy. When we meet on Monday we will take a final decision on what will be the strategy in the Parliament for the week," he said.

Party sources said if the government does not agree to its demand for a discussion on the 2G issue, the main opposition is likely to force adjournment.

Asked if the CAG report slamming the Delhi Government for irregularities in the Commonwealth Games [ Images ] projects came up in the meeting, Ahluwalia evaded a direct reply saying, "You will know everything after tomorrow's NDA meeting."

The BJP has been demanding Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's resignation in the wake of the CAG report. "We have not retracted from our demand," Ahluwalia said.
