Setting itself in election mode, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday said the country today suffered from an "era of political instability" and snap polls appeared imminent, but said it will not not "directly take up" the Ram Sethu protection campaign.

On the second day of the three-day national executive in Bhopal, when the question of its leadership kept cropping up on its sidelines, the party adopted the political resolution which said the "breakdown of relationship" between the partners of the United Progressive Alliance and the Left has threatened to reduce the Central government to a minority.

Taking the issue forward, BJP's prime ministerial contender Lal Kishenchand Advani said addressing a public meeting that the only thing "certain" was the mid-term elections by the middle of the next year.

The party, which grew in strength on the national scene on the Ayodhya Ram temple issue, also adopted a special resolution on the raging Ram Sethu issue in which it attacked the Congress-led coalition at the Centre demanding its unqualified apology for denying existence of Ram.

A government displaying "such ignorance" does not not deserve to stay in office, it said.

The resolution, moved by senior leader Murli Manohar Joshi, however, said it would not not "directly" take up the campaign. But it would support the Rameswaram Ram Sethu protection forum to save the mythical bridge.

Kalyan Singh, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and BJP's poster boy in the Ayodhya issue, had a dig at the Tamil Nadu chief minister saying the party was "praying to Lord Ram for blessing the DMK supremo with wisdom."
