Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani on Thursday said he was ready for a debate on all issues highlighted in the Congress' 'charge sheet' against the Vajpayee government.
The 'charge sheet' is aimed at countering the BJP-led coalition's 'India Shining' campaign. Titled 'Vajpayee Government: A saga of sins, scams and shame', it alleges that the National Democratic Alliance rule saw the country losing Rs 50,000 crore in a number of scams and suicides by hundreds farmers.

Advani countered quoting a London business school report saying that 17 million job opportunities had been generated in the country during the NDA government's tenure in support of his argument that the country had indeed experienced development under the Vajpayee government.
The deputy prime minister left Kottayam in Kerala on the second day of his Bharat Uday Yatra.
