BJP State president Daggubati Purandeswari said the huge stash of ill-gotten wealth unearthed from the possession of Congress MP Dhiraj Prasad Saju exposed the deep - rooted corruption in that party which was in sharp contrast to the good governance being delivered in the BJP-ruled States. Corruption had been rampant in the States ruled by parties other than the BJP, she alleged.
She said it was evident from the raids by the Income Tax Department (ITD) on the MP’s premises that he made a fortune from illegal businesses, and once the whole picture becomes clear, people would realise how the Congress party had been synonymous with corruption.
In a statement to the media on Saturday, Ms. Purandeswari said the raids being conducted by the IT Department officials on the premises of Mr. Sahu’s family and relatives in Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand and Madhya Prasad were revealing the true magnitude of the scandals in which he was involved.
