Will probe BJP CMs over crores of money after coming to power, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that he will hold thorough investigations on the BJP ministers when he comes to power.

Gandhi said that he will carry put probes over crores of money which have been "siphoned off."

His response came following PM Modi's comment over people calling Congress "Bail gaadi" because many of its senior leaders are out on bail in various cases, the party said that the Prime Minister, "who talks about bail gadi (bullock cart)", has taken the farmers to its era in the age of tractors.

Gandhi accused PM Modi of protecting "corrupt" BJP leaders including Chief Ministers of various BJP-ruled states.

Gandhi launched another attack on Modi-led NDA government, alleging that the incidents of lynching in parts of the country were the “direct consequence” of “politics of hatred and communal polarisation”.

According to the Congress president, such politics is “irreparably damaging our social fabric” and that the recent incidents “have sickened our nation”.

Taking to Twitter, the Congress chief said, “The politics of hatred and communal polarisation is irreparably damaging our social fabric. The brutal lynchings across India that have sickened our nation, are the direct consequence of that kind of politics.”

This comes amid rising incidents of lynching in parts of the country, primarily in Maharashtra. In the latest such incident, five members of a nomadic community were beaten to death by a mob at Rainpada village in Dhule on July 1. The five persons were killed on suspicion of being child lifters.
