Fursatganj (UP), November 15: Amid storm in Parliament over reports of various scams, including 2G spectrum allocation, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said the government was taking “strong action” on the issue of corruption.
“It is an important issue and we need to be very strict on corruption… the government is in the process of taking strong action,” he told reporters here.
He was replying to a question on reports of major scams in the spectrum allocation, Commonwealth Games projects and Adarsh Housing society. Opposition’s demand for JPC probe into these cases stalled Parliament for the fourth consecutive day today.
The Amethi MP, who is on a three-day tour of his Lok Sabha constituency, was speaking on the sidelines of a function to inaugurate a building and auditorium of Footware Development and Design Institute here.
The Congress leader said the quantum of development in Uttar Pradesh was low.
