Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, calling the relationship between corruption and Congress "innate".
He also alleged that the organisation continues to shield its top leadership despite serious corruption allegations. In a post on X, Maurya said," The relationship between corruption and Congress is innate. The party's two former presidents, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, have serious allegations of corruption against them, yet it is extremely shameful that Congress is defending them." "Congress's movement is not for the country, but only for the selfishness of one family," he added. Earlier today, former Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Anurag Thakur took a jibe at the Congress amid the ongoing controversy in connection with the National Herald case, claiming that they have been "caught stealing again". He said that some newspapers are published on paper, while others are only available online, and National Herald was one of the latter. Thakur stated that Congress "trembles" after hearing the name of the National Herald. After the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a chargesheet against Congress leaders Rahul and Sonia Gandhi in connection with the alleged National Herald case, party President Mallikarjun Kharge has called a meeting on Saturday to finalise the strategy ahead of the hearing in the Delhi Rouse Avenue Court on April 25. According to sources, after discussing with his lawyers, Lop Rahul Gandhi left for Boston, US, as per his pre-scheduled program. Rahul and the lawyers have decided to participate in the legal process at the Rouse Avenue Court and will not approach the High Court directly, sources said. On April 15, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a prosecution complaint (chargesheet) against top Congress members Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in connection with the National Herald money laundering case. The chargesheet also names Congress leader Sam Pitroda, Suman Dubey and others, including several firms. The matter has been listed for arguments on cognisance in the Delhi Rouse Avenue Court on April 25. (ANI)
