Who benefited from 'mota maal' in VVIP chopper scam, coal scam: BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday asked Rahul Gandhi to answer as to who benefited from the 'mota maal' in the VVIP Chopper scam and the coal scam.

"Rahul Gandhi is trying to mislead people and helping the frauds. We can understand Rahul's frustration. He has been exposed and is trying to hide his failure and deviate people by blaming government," BJP leader Shrikant Sharma said.

Sharma further said there is a difference between what Rahul says and what he does, adding "Rahul does not have any evidence if he had he would have shown that in parliament. He does not let parliament function."

"We don't do politics on deaths, Congress has this trait. Rahul talks about deaths caused due to demonetisation what about farmer's death caused in Congress regime," he added.

Labelling the Congress party as the 'most corrupt party' the Bharatiya Janata Party earlier on Wednesday said that the former's vice-president Rahul Gandhi, pitches for 'gareebi hatato' but has never worked for the poor.

Upping the ante on the government's demonetisation drive, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi earlier in the day said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sacrificed the common man in 'yagna' against black money.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he is performing a yagna against black money and corruption. As animals are slaughtered in yagnas, similarly Prime Minister Modi has sacrificed the common man in yagna against black money," said Gandhi.

He further said that demonetisation 'yagna' is aimed at benefitting the rich and was performed for 50 families.

The Congress vice-president's fresh outburst against the ruling dispensation came a day after the anti-demonetisation meeting, which was attended by all opposition parties except the Left, Janata Dal (United) and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
