JAMMU, May 17: National general secretary of BJP, Amit Shah today said that the amount embezzled by the UPA Government in various scams is equal to the 120 years budget of Jammu and Kashmir Government.
Addressing press conference here, Mr Shah said that BJP has decided to expose the UPA Government for its corruption and mis-governance reflecting in foreign policy failure, particularly in relation to Pakistan and China.
“Even in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress is supporting Omar Abdullah led Government inspite of charges of corruption against its senior Ministers and bureaucrats”, he said, adding “total amount embezzled through various scams by the UPA Government is equal to the 120 years budget of this State”.
Amit Shah said that the Congress-led UPA has morally, politically and legally lost its right to rule the country. “Manmohan Singh led UPA has beaten all the past records of corruption. There is a question mark on its working. Even the people who returned this UPA to power with high hopes have themselves lost their faith in it”, he further said, adding “this Government has totally failed on all fronts and there is widespread resentment among farmers, labourers, employees and businessmen against this Government”.
“All time high price rise is the result of its wrong economic policies. Unchecked corruption is at peak. According to newspapers, CWG, 2G Telecom Scam, Mines Scam, Antrix Devas deal and the recent Coalgate scam involve amount to unimaginably total. The scams are not confined to one or two Ministries but such scams have been unearthed in different Ministries. Even Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is under clouds. Due to such large scale scams, this UPA has achieved the distinction of being the most corrupt Government in post-independent India”, the BJP national general secretary said.
He further said, “it is also serious development that the UPA has been violating all the norms and making attempts to shield the culprits. How it tried to directly interfere in the working of CBI in Coalgate case is known to all. The UPA first tried to cut down CAG powers, then it tried to curtail powers of JPC and PAC. It also tried to interfere in the working of CBI before submitting report to the Supreme Court. It is most unfortunate that the senior leaders of the Congress are making objectionable comments about Supreme Court”.
He announced country-wide Jail Bharo Programme from May 27 to June 2 in support of the party’s demand for the resignation of PM for involvement in Coalgate and other scams.
In response to a question about his alleged involvement in Gujarat cases, he said, “there is no-prima-facie case against me. This was UPA Government’s conspiracy to malign my image and target Narendra Modi Government”.
