2012-11-16 15

No other party fought corruption as much as the Congress and UPA. We took stringent legal actions against those who proved corrupt. I want to ask the BJP, has it taken any action against its leaders who are accused of graft? No; never. It was the Congress and UPA which the crucial legislation of Right To Information, which is a powerful tool to fight corruption. It was the Congress, which made a strong Lokpal Bill to fight corruption and got it passed in the Lok Sabha. But who stopped the passage of the same in the Rajya Sabha? It was the BJP which stalled it. They are not serious about corruption and their fight against corruption is just a show off. In fact, they are not against graft but are against the Congress.
