PCC chief Sachin Pilot today attacked BJP on the corruption issue, claiming that its leader Ghanshyam Tiwari "raising" the matter has "validated" the allegations levelled by the Congress against the Vasundhara Raje-led government.
"BJP leader Ghanshyam Tiwari has raised the issue of corruption in the government and it is what we have been saying for the two years. The allegations of Tiwari are true," Pilot today claimed.
"The BJP government is working against the mandate of people and corruption has flourished in the state. Chief Minister helped Lalit Modi and is involved in mines scam.
"Prime Minister's silence and clean chit to Raje by the party president Amit Shah clearly indicates that the party is patronising corruption," he alleged.
Senior BJP MLA Tiwari, who has been sidelined from the party, had addressed his supporters and cornered his party as well as the government over the issue of corruption on Thursday.
