BJP's dual face on corruption exposed: Congress

Raipur, November 22, 2012

Coming down heavily on state BJP incharge JP Nadda for his statement that said - party president Nitin Gadkari will get second term or not is an internal matter, the Congress on Thursday said the dual face of saffron party was exposed on corruption.

“It is an irony that on one side Nadda talks of ‘zero tolerance’ on corruption and on the other he tries to defend his beleaguered party chief who is facing graft allegations,” said PCC president Nandkumar Patel and CLP leader Ravindra Choubey.

“Of course, the decision to give second term to Gadkari is BJP’s internal affair but the graft allegations against him are public,” they said.

“Whether it is capital investment on the name of fake companies in his firm - Purti Power and Sugar Limited or forcible acquisition of farmers’ lands in Vidarbha or Rs 75000 crore-irrigation scam in Maharashtra, Gadkari’s involvement in these matters cannot be termed BJP’s internal affairs,” they said.

They indicated that despite ineligibility, Sancheti brothers got job of commercial exploration and mining of Bhatgaon-II and Bhatgaon-II extension coal blocks in Chhattisgarh for their closeness with Gadkari.
