‘Corruption has become Cong-centric’
Criticising the statements of some ruling party leaders against members of the Lokpal Bill drafting committee, the BJP on Tuesday alleged that corruption has become “Congress-centric.” The party alleged the UPA has given “supari (contract)” to professionals to defame the anti-corruption campaign of Mr Anna Hazare.
Party national vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said: “The Central government has given supari (contract) to professionals to defame the anti-corruption campaign of Anna Hazare. This supari has been given to the same persons, who were given the responsibility of saving the government and ensuring its victory through cash-for-vote on the US atomic agreement.”
Alleging that corruption has become “Congress-centric,” the party’s national spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said: “This has been proven without doubt. We have given ample reasons. History and time is a proof of that.”
He insisted that there was a “growing restlessness and insecurity” in the Congress today over the Lokpal Bill and hence the BJP is concerned about the drafting of the bill.
The party sought a clarification from the Congress on the issue.
The party said it wants to see the draft bill as there are “indications that leaders of those who are most affected by these charges of corruption, especially those who are members of the drafting committee, are coming out with statements.”
“I would not like to say a campaign is being run. But clearly after the manner in which Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh has given statements, the Congress leadership should tell us whether instructions have been issued to Congressmen to create hurdles for the campaign against corruption,” Mr Rudy said.
He maintained that the nation sees this as a big conspiracy and a general feeling was sinking in the minds of the people that the Congress was behind all acts of corruption.
