New Delhi: Hitting out at Congress over Income Tax raids at MP Dheeraj Sahu’s residence, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that Congress is silent on this issue as corruption is in the “nature” of the grand old party.
Taking a jibe at the INIDIA alliance for remaining “silent” on the issue, he said that there is a fear in the minds of the parties who are part of the Bloc as their “secrets will be revealed”.
“I understand Congress is silent as corruption is in their nature but JDU, RJD, DMK, and SP all are sitting silently…Now I understand why a campaign was run against PM Modi that agencies are being misused. It was run because there was a fear in their mind that all the secrets of their corruption would be revealed,” Amit Shah told a wire agency.
Earlier, on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Congress, tagging a news report about the I-T department’s recovery of ₹ 200 crores in cash from various locations of a business group allegedly linked to Mr Sahu.
“Countrymen should look at these piles of currency notes and then hear the addresses of its (Congress) leaders on honesty. Every penny looted from people will have to be returned. This is Modi’s guarantee,” PM Modi posted from his official handle.
