Every act of corruption leads to Gandhis: Patra
Describing Congress Working Committee ( CWC) as “corruption wali committee” ( committee of corruption), the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) on Saturday said every act of corruption in India is linked to the Congress which is peddling lies and misleading people against the Modi government. The ruling party also dismissed alleged irregularities in Rafale fighter jets’ price, saying that the Congress is spreading lies on the issue as it is “frustrated” over the absence of any middlemen in the deal.
“The Congress has a hard connection with corruption. Wherever corruption happens in India, it goes to 10 Janpath. 10 Janpath is the permanent address of corruption in India and every act of corruption leads to the Gandhi family,” said BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra, referring to the official residence of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
On the Rafale issue, the BJP leader said that the Congress president Rahul Gandhi told Parliament during the no- trust motion that the French president said something in his ears and within hours the French government issued a statement exposing his lies. “Can there be anything more humiliating than this,” Mr Patra said.
He also accused the Congress of playing vote bank politics on the controversy surrounding Assam’s National Register of Citizens ( NRC) and said that the party was only interested in having a “national register of illegal immigrants”.
