Guwahati, January 09: BJP today declared an all out war against Sonia Gandhi bringing the Congress first family in the line of fire on the Bofors kickbacks issue.
“The Congress, particularly its first family is faced with the power of truth. Truth has the habit of coming up at an inconvenient time. Misusing the CBI to undermine this case, each time and at every level, the party ensured that Ottavio Quattrocchi was enabled to flee the country,” the party said in its political resolution.
Contrary to earlier speculation, the party named the Congress first family in the resolution adopted at the two-day national executive meeting of the BJP.
Targetting Sonia later at an NDA rally, veteran BJP leader L K Advani she had a close association with Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, who was a “regular” at her house.
