Cong takes swipe at Shah over faux pas on most corrupt govt

The Congress today poked fun at Amit Shah saying it agreed with his description of Karnataka's Yeddyurappa government as "number one" in corruption in a gleeful reference to a gaffe made by the BJP president when he sought to mention Siddaramaiah but named his party's former chief minister instead.

Congress social media in-charge Divya Spandana Ramya went to town on Twitter over Shah's comment at a press conference earlier today in Karnataka.

"Who knew Amit Shah could also speak the truth - we all concur with you Amit ji B S Yeddyurappa is the most corrupt!," she tweeted.

In another tweet, Ramya said this was not the first time Shah had expressed such feelings towards Yeddyurappa.

Shah had said, addressing the media, "A Supreme Court retired judge has said that if a comparison is made on corruption, then the Yeddyurappa government would get the number one award."
