After the Income Tax authorities unearthed Rs 42 crore
from a residence linked to a former corporator in Bengaluru, BJP national president
JP Nadda said corruption is in the DNA of Congress adding the Grand Old Party and
corruption are two sides of the same coin.
In a post on X, JP Nadda said, “The Congress Party has
mastered the art of making promises and now this party has gone a step ahead
and has started giving guarantees in return for promises. It has recently been
revealed that cash worth more than Rs 100 crore has been found in the houses of
some contractors in Karnataka, which is extremely shameful and a disgusting
joke on the voters.”
Adding that this is just a small sample of the corrupt
DNA of Congress, Nadda said, “These same Congress-backed contractors were
active in serving lies against the BJP during the Karnataka Assembly elections.
It is the misfortune of Karnataka that the Congress Government has made it an
ATM for money laundering, corruption and raising money for the upcoming
elections.”
Pointing out that Congress can give is always a
guarantee of corruption, Nadda said Congress and corruption are two sides of
the same coin.
“The Congress governments have made Chhattisgarh and
Rajasthan into ATMs of corruption and want to loot the people’s hard-earned
money by making Telangana and Madhya Pradesh similar ATMs. Therefore, Congress
is dreaming of coming to power in Madhya Pradesh and Telangana so that it can
loot the money for the welfare of the poor and the development of the State.
Congress can only give a “guarantee” of loot,” he said.
Three days after the Income-tax (I-T) officials seized
cash worth Rs 42 crore from the premises belonging to a contractor in Karnataka’s
Bengaluru, BJP leader CT Ravi on Sunday alleged that the recovered money was
part of Congress’ illegal fund collection, meant for upcoming polls.
The BJP leader further demanded a CBI enquiry into the
matter and said that the truth will prevail after a proper investigation.
“We had earlier alleged that the State (Karnataka)
would be an ATM for the Congress Government. That has turned out to be true.
The truth will come out after enquiry. We are demanding a CBI inquiry,” he
said.
The I-T department officials last week seized a cash
stash worth Rs 42 crore from the premises belonging to a contractor, R
Ambikapathy, in Bengaluru city.
The raids sparked off a heated debate with BJP
alleging on Friday that the money was part of Congress’s illegal fund, meant
for campaigning in assembly polls in Telangana and four other states to be held
in November.
