Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K. Selvaperunthagai said on Friday that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s warnings about corruption in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, including the issue of electoral bonds, had been vindicated after the details of the electoral bonds being made public by the Election Commission of India on its website.
Mr. Selvaperunthagai demanded answers from Mr. Modi and BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai on the recent revelations related to the electoral bonds.
Speaking to the reporters, he said several companies had bought electoral bonds worth much more than their entire turnover. This disproved the BJP’s claim of stamping out black money and terror-funding through the 2016 demonetisation. “When they went in for demonetisation, they said they will eliminate black money; but it [the electoral bond details] shows that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP government are responsible for proliferation of black money,” he said.
