Greatest myth that BJP governments are scam free: Cong

New Delhi: Tearing into Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim of ‘zero tolerance to corruption’, Congress on Friday dubbed as “greatest myth” the propaganda that BJP governments are scam free.
“It is one of the greatest myths which this Government has tried to propagate…. that this is a corruption-free, scam-free Government.”The truth is that not only is it full of corruption and scams but unlike the previous Government, it believes in taking no action at all in regard to what it considers its own”, party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi told reporters.He claimed that if one was a BJP Minister or Chief Minister or an office bearer of the RSS or the BJP, “then you have an immunity, you have a protective ‘kavach’ on you, a shield which can’t be penetrated.”
Detailing a number of scams in BJP ruled states, he said if one takes the case of Chhattisgarh, there is the “Rs 36,000 Crore PDS rice” scam and the most recent “conclusive proof” in the Panama Papers context. (PTI)
