BJP raps Rahul for hitting Advani, Modi on graft war
A combative BJP on Monday took Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi head on for attacking LK Advani and Narendra Modi on the issue of corruption and said Rahul has given up the fight even before it has begun. The Opposition party pooh-poohed the Congress leader for not being able to see corruption in the Government headed by his outfit.
“Neither the BJP nor corruption in Congress Governments are visible to Rahul Gandhi. Those who are involved only with themselves and their family cannot see others. Rahul Gandhi always says “I will change this, ‘my’ party, ‘my’ family. He is busy praising himself,” BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters here.
The former Union Minister said Rahul has accepted defeat in UP even before the polls are over. “Rahul has accepted that his party is fighting the polls to make Congress stand on its feet. In Delhi, the Congress Government stands on the feet of BSP and SP. Today’s statement by Rahul belies all earlier claims by the Congress that it has been revived since the 2009 general elections. Congress is still on its crutches in UP,” Hussain said.
At a Press interaction in Varanasi earlier in the day, Rahul had hit out at the BJP on the issue of corruption and the Lokpal Bill. The Congress leader said there is corruption in BJP Governments in Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Punjab while Advani is taking out yatras across various States.
In reply to a question, Gandhi also said that when he proposed that the Lokpal be given constitutional status, the Opposition laughed at it. Gandhi attacked Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi too, saying he had not allowed a Lokayukta to be appointed in his State.
