The Congress has multiple bank accounts and just three-four of them have been attached, "not frozen", for non-payment of tax dues, the BJP said on March 23, accusing the opposition party of making misleading statements on the issue sensing its "imminent" defeat in the Lok Sabha poll.
"These bank accounts have not been frozen, they are operational. You [Congress] can deposit money in these accounts and withdraw too, except ₹125 crore, which has been attached by the Income Tax department due to the non-payment of dues as per Income Tax rules," BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said.
Referring to media reports, he said the Congress has about ₹1,000 crore in its multiple bank accounts, opened with "multiple PAN" numbers in "violation of its own party constitution". The Congress also has a fixed asset of worth ₹500 crore, the BJP leader claimed.
