“Corruption In Their Nature”: Amit Shah Jabs Congress On Huge Cash Haul

New Delhi: 

Hitting out at Congress over Income Tax raids at MP Dheeraj Sahu’s residence, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that Congress is silent on this issue as corruption is in the “nature” of the grand old party.

Taking a jibe at the INIDIA alliance for remaining “silent” on the issue, he said that there is a fear in the minds of the parties who are part of the Bloc as their “secrets will be revealed”.

“I understand Congress is silent as corruption is in their nature but JDU, RJD, DMK, and SP all are sitting silently…Now I understand why a campaign was run against PM Modi that agencies are being misused. It was run because there was a fear in their mind that all the secrets of their corruption would be revealed,” Amit Shah told ANI on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, Jharkhand Health Minister Banna Gupta on Sunday said his party had nothing to do with it.

Speaking to ANI on Sunday, the minister said the onus was on the central agency to clarify where the money came from.

Mr Gupta added that Mr Sahu, a Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Jharkhand, belongs to a big business family and the Income Tax authorities should conduct a proper investigation to ascertain facts about the source of the money recovered.

“Dheeraj Sahu belongs to a big family, which has business interests. They have been running their businesses for several years. I believe it is the Income Tax department that should come out with a detailed clarification on the source of the money,” Mr Gupta told ANI.
