GUWAHATI, Feb 25:
Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad today alleged that the BJP has ‘internationalised’ corruptions that are taking place in the country.
The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha claimed that all the scams unearthed during the UPA regime were of much smaller in sizes.
“After the BJP came to power, corruption has been internationalised. Scams are of Rs 8,000 crore, Rs 11,000 crore and similar sizes are unearthed. The scamsters are easily going out (of the country) and never coming back,” Azad said in a press conference here.
The Congress general secretary said the Prime Minister claims he has good relations with all the world leaders. “Then why can’t he bring back all those accused such as Lalit Modi, Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and others by using his influence?”
Accusing the Government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being involved in the scams, Azad alleged that that is why he is silent on the scams.
Attacking the BJP, he said the saffron party is trying to dictate everyone on what to wear, what to eat and what culture to follow, thereby threatening to attack the basic tenets of the Constitution. (PTI)
