Hitting out at the BJP over its ongoing Pardafash rally meant to expose corruption set in the Harish Rawat Government, the Mahanagar Congress Committee president Anshul Shrikunj dubbed the rallies as ‘filth-spilling contest’.
He said, while addressing a Press conference on Friday, that the saffron leaders are engaged in a grim kind of vilification campaign, spilling filth on the State Government to malign its image ahead of the election. “The leaders seem to be competing among themselves to show mastery in the art of filth-spilling. But the people know how corrupt the BJP leaders are,” he said.
“The people are well aware of the fact that the present lok Sabha member from Haridwar is neck deep in corruption,” he said without naming the former CM Ramesh Pokhryal Nishank.
He also alluded to another leader amassing disputed wealth, meaning Satpal Maharaj. He also hinted towards the BJP legislator Madan Kaushik, saying that the leader had his property multiplied in a few years.
Shrikunj asked the state BJP to expose and cleanse the filth accumulated within instead of going all -out to expose the corruption in the Congress, adding that the CM Harish Rawat has asked the leaders who are reluctant to declare the details of their property to give it to the Government to be used in collective welfare.
The Congress leader further said that the National Flag had been thrown in the drain after the Tiranga rally led by BJP under Nishank was over.
