The octogenarian BJP leader, who is confined to home for health reasons, appealed to the people to teach a lesson to the representatives who had failed to live up to their promises despite opportunities provided in the form of popular mandates. The appeal was issued by party vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi at Mr Vajpayee's residence here. The former Prime Minister said the law and order situation in all these states was a matter of great concern as there was no sense of security of life, property and corruption was rampant. The common man was the worst suferer because of high prices, and the farmers were resorting to suicides because of inability to repay debts due to wrong farm policies persuaded by the governments, he said.
