Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi attacked BJP over the rampant corruption in the state of Uttarakhand under the present BJP Government.
In a clear reference to BJP's decision to replace Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank with B S Khanduri as the CM, Sonia Gandhi said "rampant corruption is seen across the state. BJP leaders do talk a lot about curbing corruption, but you know what is happening in states run by it. They had to change chief ministers because of corruption. When the corruption case was exposed, they changed their chief minister in Uttarakhand too".
The sharp remark by the Congress President is aimed at undercutting BJP's bid to take the high moral ground on graft backed by the "clean image" of Khanduri who is seen to have been brought in to control the damage due to `corruption' under his predecessor Nishank. It is also a bid to focus sharply on local corruption in an assembly poll when BJP is trying to drag the Centre's scams into the frame.
"The entire development structure is dismantled due to rampant corruption and scams encouraged by the BJP government," Sonia Gandhi told a well-attended an election rally at Almora that goes to polls on January 30.
