The State media in-charge of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Manveer Singh Chauhan said on Wednesday that Congress should think about why every accused involved in corruption and scams is related to their party. He was responding to the allegations of the Congress party that BJP gives protection to people involved in scams and corruption. He claimed that Congress leaders have been found involved in all the major scams and corruption cases that have come to light in the country so far. He said that when investigation agencies make revelations and arrest them, Congress starts raising questions about the intentions of the Union government rather than appreciating the good work of the authorities concerned. He said that an amount of Rs 350 crore recovered from Rajya Sabha MP and Congress leader Dheeraj Sahu has disturbed their party members.

Due to this, they have started blaming and accusing the BJP of using investigative agencies on the opposition for political gains which is completely baseless, said Chauhan. He said that the investigating agency is doing its work against corruption which is part of the ongoing campaign against corruption in the interest of the country. Congress should look at the incredible work being done by agencies against corruption and scams and praise them rather than unnecessarily question their intentions, he added. He said that the BJP never announced their people as clean if any accused is involved in any scam.

The government is working on the principle of zero tolerance for corruption and the investigating agencies are working without any discrimination. Everyone can work within the ambit of the law. He said that Congress needs to improve its conduct instead of levelling allegations on others. The party members should remember that Congress was sidelined by the public because it patronised corruption, alleged Chauhan.
