"Congress party and corruption are the two sides of the same coin. Congress is known for corruption, commission, and criminalisation. Corruption and malpractices are the custom and policies of the Congress," BJP chief JP Nadda alleged, adding that the "black money" seized by the Income Tax department at various places linked to the Congress MP is just a small part of "this person's corruption".
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said, "They,BJP-led central government are only targeting Congress. Let them raid BJP leaders as well. Only then will it be known how much (ill-gotten wealth) they have."
