Sonia Gandhi – the Congress President and UPA Chairperson - slammed BJP over the large scale corruption and lawlessness in the state of Uttarakhand.
Referring the earlier decision of the BJP to replace Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank with B S Khanduri as the CM, Sonia Gandhi said "It is rampant corruption across the state. BJP leaders do talk against corruption, but the people are well aware what is happening in the BJP ruled states. BJP had to change chief ministers because of corruption. When the corruption case had come out in open, they had to remove the chief minister in Uttarakhand too".
The sharp attack by the Congress President is aimed at undercutting BJP's bid to take the high moral ground on corruption with help of the "clean image" of Khanduri who is seen to have been brought in to control the damage due to `corruption' under his predecessor Nishank. It is also a bid to focus sharply on local corruption when BJP is trying to drag the Centre's scams into the frame.
"The entire development structure is dismantled due to rampant corruption and scams encouraged by the BJP government," Sonia Gandhi told a well-attended an election rally at Almora.
