Electoral bonds are ‘white-collar corruption’ of the BJP, says Stalin

Alleging that the electoral bonds proved that the BJP was corrupt, DMK president and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday described the bonds as “white-collar corruption” of the BJP.

Addressing a public meeting in Mumbai at the culmination of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Mr. Stalin said, “Who collected ₹8,000 crore in the name of electoral bonds? It is a white-collar corruption of the BJP. Can such a Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) talk about corruption?”

Alleging that Mr. Modi had accused the INDIA bloc of corruption only to divert people’s attention from his “failures and scams”, Mr. Stalin said, “We entered politics to work for the people, not for entertainment. Brother Rahul Gandhi has visited States all over India to understand the heart of the country. It is a journey to restore the country destroyed by the BJP.”
