Cong's bankruptcy is moral, intellectual not financial:Nadda

The BJP on Thursday dismissed the Congress' attack on the government over freezing of its bank accounts as the opposition party's "desperate" attempt to create an alibi for its imminent defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.Party president J P Nadda has said that Congress is going to be totally rejected by the people and fearing a historic defeat, their top leadership ranted against Indian democracy and institutions. They are conveniently blaming their irrelevance on ‘financial troubles’. In reality, their bankruptcy is moral and intellectual, not financial, he said.Nadda added that instead of correcting their own errors, Congress is blaming authorities for their troubles. Be it the ITAT or the Delhi HC, they have asked the Congress to comply with the rules, pay the taxes due but the Party never did so. Attacking the Congress, he alleged that for a party which has looted from every sector, in every state and at every moment of history, to talk of financial helplessness is comical. Congress can use the money accumulated from all their scams starting from jeep to chopper scam via Bofors for their electioneering, he said.
BJP leader and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad accused former Congress president Rahul Gandhi of lying on the issue and also targeted Sonia Gandhi, saying both of them shamed Indian democracy globally with their "irresponsible" comments.Prasad said the Congress did not file income tax returns in time, leading to the freezing of its accounts. Spokesperson Samit Patra remind the Congress leaders, if you're a defaulter under provisions of any law of the country, you will be treated like one.The era wherein the Gandhi family held an attitude of entitlement has ended under PM Mod, he said.
