Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley today said with slew of graft cases
surfacing during the UPA government, corruption has taken the shape of a
"small scale industry", and the upcoming Lok Sabha polls will be a
fight between morality and immorality.
"Upcoming Lok Sabha election will not just be a political fight
but a 'Dharam Yudh' (fight for justice) between morality and
immorality," said the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha.
Jaitley was addressing party workers here today.
Speaking on the graft cases, he said, "With 2G, coal scam, Bofors
scam running into several lakhs of crores, corruption during the UPA
government has taken a form of small scale industry."
Jaitley also attacked the Centre over CBI, alleging that Congress
has been "misusing" the agency to not only save its ministers and other
Congressmen but also to keep itself in power.
"Every time Congress government needed numbers for survival, the
CBI suddenly went soft on the SP and BSP leaders who are facing probe
for disproportionate assets.
"They have even attacked IB for vote bank politics, however
Congress should remember CBI does not gets votes it is the people who
vote and the mood of the people is clearly with BJP," he said.
The BJP leader said that Congress was indulging in "crony
Capitalism" and Congressmen have become "name lenders" as in the Coal
scam, where the blocks were allotted "with name chits being passed on to
the screening committee".
"So large has been the degradation that even the status report to
the Supreme Court was fudged to save those from the PMO and the Coal
Ministry," he claimed.
He also attacked former Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal. "It
seems the whole Bansal family is running an industry of postings and
promotions," he said.
"The government may have manipulated the CBI, but there is a
clear overlap in the Railgate phone conversations and the file
movements," he said.
