Rajasthan BJP president C. P. Joshi alleged on May 23 that the Congress government in the State has broken all records of corruption.
Mr. Joshi said the BJP will organise a protest in the State capital Jaipur on June 7 on the issues of corruption, government recruitment examination paper leaks and deteriorating law and order, among others.
Addressing a press conference in Jaipur, he said, "Legislators and Ministers of the Congress have flagged cases of corruption many times. It must have happened for the first time in the country's history that crores of rupees and gold biscuits were found in a government office." He was referring to the recent seizure of ₹2.31 crore in cash and gold weighing one kilogram from a locked almirah in the basement of Yojana Bhawan, a government office building in Jaipur. The Rajasthan Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested a joint director of the Department of Information Technology in connection with the seizure.
