The editorial in 'Panchjanya' also said,"Thousands of people fear that a certain political party mired in corruption may resort to riots to deflect the nation's attention from its leaders."
Attacking Congress president Sonia Gandhi without naming her, the editorial said,"No one had thought the ghost of a scam will come all the way from Italy to haunt Signora."
"The people of the oldest party insist that Signora should not be linked to a particular name. But someone has betrayed the country. Who is it? Bribe-givers are behind bars. Who are the bribe-takers," it said, adding the Congress camp is "rattled" by the presence of some new faces in Rajya Sabha, in an apparent reference to BJP leader Subranian Swamy.
The Italian court has described this Signora as the "driving force" behind the helicopter scam, it said.
The journal said people can see through the veil and "Signora has to come out in the open now".
"Signora will have to come out in the open now....Is Signora bigger than the party? Is she bigger than even Gandhi?" it said.
