Congress leader, Premchand Mishra on Sunday, accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of having 'double standards' on the issue of corruption.
Mishra asked, "I want to know why the BJP is showing double standards when talking about corruption. If Lalu Prasad is corrupt, then, how can R.K. Rana and Jagannath Mishra be good?" .
Mishra also called the BJP a party of defectors,"BJP has become the party of habitual defectors," he said.
Mishra's comments came after Renu Kushwaha and JD (U) MLA Sunil Kumar left the party to join the BJP along with Braj Kishore Singh of the RJD on Saturday.
