The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday accused the Congress of indulging in corrupt practices amounting to bribery over the latter’s ‘Ghar Ghar Guarantee’ outreach programme, and has asked the Election Commission (EC) to put a stop to it.
In its memorandum to the EC, the BJP said the initiative was unveiled on April 3 by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and that its workers are distributing “guarantee cards” to households, presenting them application papers for accessing the party’s promised benefits.
“To further confound the wrong, the cards bear the promissory signatures of prominent leaders of the Indian National Congress, namely Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, as an official endorsement,” the letter said.
