Lakshimpur, November 15: Accusing BJP of indulging in hypocrisy over the issue of corruption, Congress on Monday demanded that BJP president Nitin Gadkari should disclose his assets and sources of income.
“Gadkari should disclose where are the properties he had acquired in the last 10 to 15 years and his source of income. A high level inquiry should be done,” party general secretary Digvijay Singh told reporters here.
He alleged, “Contrary to Congress, which had always been very sensitive on corruption, BJP has played a mute spectator to the corruption among its own high rank and file.”
Unlike Congress, BJP had never taken any action against any of its senior leaders or ministers involved in corruption, he claimed.
“The BJP talks about corruption but its own leaders were indulged in corruption, including Chief Minister Yedurappa, who allotted land to his own two sons, Sudhanshu Mittal who was involved in CWG corruption, Reddy Brothers, Kirit Somaiya who was accused in stock exchange scam or former BJP president Bangaru Laxman and Dilip Singh Judev, who were caught on camera taking cash,” he alleged.
