'Corruption Talk Is Audacious, A Mere Ploy'
Mumbai: Narendra Modi on Sunday latched onto the controversial 'all clear' given to Congress politicians allegedly involved in the Adarsh scam to tear into Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for casting himself as an anti-corruption warrior, calling it an unparalleled example of audacity. Addressing a well-attended rally at the MMRDA grounds in BKC, Modi said the clean chit to the biggies in Maharashtra Congress had exposed Rahul's anti-corruption intent as a mere ploy. Referring to Rahul's speech at a Ficci meet in Delhi on Saturday, the BJP's PM candididate said, "The speech of a Congress leader yesterday left me befuddled. He belongs to a party which is neck-deep in corruption. But he spoke with such an innocent demeanour that it appeared he belonged to a different party. It was an unparalleled example of audacity. Look at the paradox. He was speaking of corruption just after the Congress government had tried to bury the Adarsh scam." His focus on Adarsh was a clear indication that the Congress's attempt to help its leaders who have been accused of complicity in the scam may exact a political cost by undercutting Rahul's effort to buffer the party from the charges of corruption. THE BIG ROAR POLICE ESTIMATED THE TURNOUT AT THE MMRDA GROUNDS ON SUNDAY IN THE RANGE OF 2.2-2.5 lakh Thousands landed in the city for the Maha-Garjana rally on long-distance trains Road transport took a hit as 500 BEST red buses were redirected to ferry people to the venue of the rally in BKC Many autos and cabbies refused to ply to Kurla, Bandra, Sion and Santa Cruz |
