Cong's working style, corrupt ways remain same: BJP on Rahul's elevation


New Delhi, Dec 17 (PTI): The BJP today dubbed the Congress as a "corrupt thought process" as it shrugged off Rahul Gandhi's elevation as its president, saying its working style and "corrupt ways" remained the same.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra launched a sharp attack on the Congress after Gandhi attacked the ruling party soon after replacing her mother Sonia Gandhi as its president.

Patra cited the sentencing of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda, who was supported by the Congress, in a corruption case to hit out at the party, claiming it would remain corrupt despite the change in leadership.

He said it was an irony that despite the Congress not being in power for four years, corruption cases were still tumbling out and people jailed for the corruption they did when it was in power.

"This speaks volumes about the thought process, the working nature of Congress party. So a new president or an old president, the working style of Congress party, the corrupt ways of Congress party still remain the same," he told reporters.

He said when the Congress talks about a change in leadership, the country is seeing how during its 10-year rule, corruption of ten to fourteen lakh crore rupees took place under their very nose.

"Congress is not an ancient thought process as claimed by a few, rather Congress is a corrupt thought process and that has been proved by the judicial process today," Patra added.

After assuming the leadership of the party, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of spreading hatred and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was taking India back to medieval times.

"The BJP is spreading hatred and communalism... they break, while we unite. They ignite fire, we douse it," Gandhi said.

Asked about the 'Aag laga ke' (ignite fire) comment, Patra said this is "not a decent way" to react.

"Elections are won not because of riots on streets, not because 'sadak pe aag laga ke'. Elections are won because the mantra of reform, transform and perform works in the country under the able leadership of Narendra Modi," he said.

He went on to add that elections are won as people compare how during the UPA days, the direct benefit transfer (DBT) was not there and the money could not reach the pockets of poor man.

"Today because of DBT, what the poor man deserves, reaches his pocket. Elections are won by giving LPG cylinders to the last man standing in the queue, when electricity reaches every village.

"So my simple request is we should not demean the basic nature of democracy in the country. Democracy is vibrant in the country because development is taking place as never before," he added.

Patra said that today is an important day as Madhu Koda, who was the chief minister of Jharkhand with the support of Congress party, has been sentenced to three years in jail because of his involvement in the coal scam.

"We all know that Madhu Koda was an Independent MLA, but because of the fact that the government was formed with the outside support of the Congress party, the government then was almost a Congress government run by 10 Janpath, 24 Akbar Road by the help of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Ahmed Patel," he said.

    you better get a Patanjali version of burnol since burnol since burnol is applied by so called antinationals so burnol itself has become antinational. So better get Patanjali ayurvedic burn relief balm for tomorrow.

    We all know Congress is corrupt. That's the reason people rejected it during last election. BJP is no different from Congress. Both these parties are like different sides of same coin. Alternate force without Congress and BJP should emerge in India to wipe out these corrupt parties.

    Why BJP still only concentrating attacking on Congress? They have nothing else to do?Are they worried, they will loose Gujarat? Too much of attacking happened without any true promises for the people of this country. Its high time for them to come down and realise the position of common people, their livlihood, raping of women, girls, cost of daily needs, jobs etc. and do the good in all in all areas. By this you will have something good done in your life. Stop attacking anyone and tell truth to the people of this country who have elected you. Stop attacking religious people without the proof. Love and respect each and everyone.

    Dambith Patra has to open his mouth for anytime which is against BJP.. he will be elevated to president post of BJP bhakh's association soon. He is already rewarded for his services by appointing him to ONGC board of directors even though he is a MBBS. He has failed to win elections even in lower level polls. Smithi Irani & Sambith Patra are 2 BJP leaders whom people have never voted for. they are only "bol bachan Amithab Bachchan "

    Anyone anytime heard anything good from the mouth of Sambit Patra other than crying all the time?? He is the misinformation Bureau of the party, who is constitutionally free to express his thoughts and opinions from his point of view. In SWOT analysis if it is so in some places or situations, then need to be changed and show that the opinion is wrong. Actions always speak louder....There is always scope for improvement...

    Yeah even in the opposition Congress helped Amit Shah's son Jay Shah's company turnover increase 16000 times from 500000 to 80 crores within one year. lol
    Congress is even responsible for Anil Ambani's company with no experience of Cycle repairing all of a sudden acquiring fighter aircraft joint venture contract of 30000 crores. lol
    BJP yaar kuch bhi ?
    BJP kaam bhi karenge yaa poore paanch saal ke liye sirf Congress aur Rahul ke baare mein baath karthe rahenge ?
