Congress spokesperson RPN Singh said top BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah, were campaigning in poll-bound Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka and talking about corruption, but had failed to come up with a reply to the "Shahzada model".
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah are talking about corruption in Himachal Pradesh. The prime minister should also talk about the 'Shahzada', whose income has gone up by 16,000 times in a short period," he told reporters here, in an apparent reference to Shah's son Jay Shah.
"The way these people are talking about corruption, there cannot be anything more unfortunate than this in politics," Singh said.
Stating that every day, one could see the BJP leaders talking about corruption, he wondered, "Why has the prime minister not talked about the corruption of the Shahzada?"
Hitting out at Shah and former Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa for taking out the march, Singh alleged that there were corruption charges against them or their family members.
"Our (Karnataka) chief minister (Siddaramaiah) has already sought to know if this yatra is for repentance and whether it will teach the people how to do corruption," he said.
