BJP hits out at Cong with video series alleging corruption

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday hit out at the Congress by releasing the first episode of ‘Congress Files,’ a video series alleging corruption during grand-old party’s 70-year-rule.

The three minute video featured former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who led both the tenures of the UPA and former Congress presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. In the video, the BJP alleged that the Congress has looted Rs 48,20,69,00,00,000 of the public’s hard-earned money.

The BJP said that with Rs 48 trillion 20 billion 69 crore, many works could have been done - from security to the development of the country. “Using this amount, 24 INS Vikrant, 300 Rafale jets, and 1,000 Mangal Missions could have been made or purchased. But the country had to bear the cost of Congress’ corruption, and it lagged behind in the race of progress,” the video message added.

“During UPA’s tenure from 2004-2014, many scams happened. Coal scam of Rs 1.86 lakh crore, 2G Spectrum scam,” the BJP said in the video message.
