Corrupt have united against honest PM Modi: BJP

After the Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea by 14 parties alleging arbitrary use of probe agencies against their leaders, BJP president J P Nadda said on Wednesday that the court's observations have shown the mirror to the Opposition. The ruling party also asserted that the apex court with its "sacred" decision has put a stamp on the government's campaign against corruption. In a tweet, Nadda said, "The Opposition has a habit of frequently levelling allegations against the independent probe agencies. The entire country is watching the opposition leaders' antics." "All those involved in corruption cases have come on one platform to do politics around false allegations. The Supreme Court's observations have shown them the mirror," he added.

At a press conference, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia told reporters that it is now clear as to who has justice, honesty, truthfulness and law on its side as all the “corrupt have united against honest Prime Minister Narendra Modi”. The corrupt think that they are above the law, Constitution and democracy but the Supreme Court has made it clear that they can’t have special laws different from the common man, he said. “If any corrupt leader has this misconception that they will get away with doing corruption, then they should know that it is not possible under the Modi government. You will go to jail and your illicit assets will be seized,” Bhatia said. He cited alleged corruption by leaders of parties like the Congress, RJD, Aam Aadmi Party and DMK among the 14 opposition parties which had moved the apex court.
