Countering Congress over its plan of month-long protests against demonetisation, the BJP on Saturday said the protests in actuality are against the VVIP chopper scam probe as names of Congress leaders have figured in it.
Congress wants to pressure the Modi Government into “diluting the investigation” but it will continue to have zero-tolerance against corruption, said BJP’s national secretary Shrikant Sharma.
“Its (Congress’) planned protests against demonetisation are in fact against the VVIP chopper scam probe, which has reached the doorsteps of 10 Janpath,” he said. Congress should rather atone for its baseless charges against the Government in the last two-and-half years, he added.
“It only highlights ideological bankruptcy of Congress that on the one hand it celebrates its 132nd foundation year while on the other its vice president levels untrue and baseless charges against the Government every day,” he said.
People continued to reject Congress while their faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi has only grown, the BJP leader said.
