Banswara (Raj): Sharpening his attack on the BJP, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said there was only one thing it did better than Congress – corruption – and branded the opposition party as “masters” in it. The Congress Vice President claimed that while Congress did better than BJP on all other fronts including development, it had surrendered before the opposition party on the corruption front.

“Today I can acknowledge one thing from this dais. They do only one thing better than us. They do corruption the best. One can see this in BJP-ruled states like Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and others. They are the masters in corruption and they are way ahead of us. We surrender on this issue before them,” he said at a poll meeting here.

Gandhi also hit out at BJP for not standing up for the rights of the poor, saying the opposition party while opposing various social sector schemes for welfare of the poor had said they were “a waste of money”.

In his attempt to woo tribals here, the Congress leader claimed the Congress always stood up for the rights of not just the poor but also for tribals and Dalits.

Gandhi said elections were important, but people need to distinguish between two parties and their ideologies.

He said while the BJP made tall claims in their speeches, they never stood by the poor. (PTI)
