Rahul's anti-graft effort not genuine: BJP

Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi, BJP today said the "late entrant" in the anti-corruption bandwagon was indulging in "posturing" and his effort was "not genuine" as he never spoke earlier on scams that took place during the UPA rule.
A day after the extended Winter session of Parliament ended, BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley told a joint press conference here that the pendency of some anti-corruption bills was not because of the Opposition but due to Congress' failure to control its unruly members.
"So many issues of corruption shook the country in the last five years but he (Rahul) never commented on a single issue and when the government's credibility is lost, with much delay, he is trying to do posturing on anti-corruption," Jaitley said.

He was commenting on Rahul's recent push to the anti-graft bills and his blame that the Opposition scuttled their passage in Parliament.
Jaitley, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, said, "He (Rahul) is a very late entrant in the anti-corruption crusader bandwagon. He never spoke on issues of corruption that shook the nation in the last 10 years. But now he says corruption is our (Congress') issue."
Swaraj added that Rahul's effort "too was not a genuine" one as he did not even speak on corruption all along.
"The Congress is now trying to put the blame of non-passage of anti-graft bills at the doorstep of BJP. This is like 'Sau chuhe kha ke billi haj ko chali' (after eating 100 rats, a cat goes to pilgrimage)," she said while taking a dig at Rahul.

Jaitley noted that Rahul remained silent when scams relating to 2G spectrum, coal block allocation, Commonwealth Games, Adarsh Housing Society and VVIP chopper deal took place.
