The BJP on Tuesday targeted the Congress and its allies, saying they have spread the "disease of corruption" against which a movement has to be started not just by the government but also by the people. Addressing a press conference here, Union minister and BJP leader Kiren Rijiju listed various cases of alleged scams and corruption against the leaders of the Congress and its allies, including those of the RJD, TMC and DMK.

With the income-tax department seizing over Rs 350-crore unaccounted cash during a series of raids on distilleries, three major political parties in Odisha have virtually entered into a slugfest, accusing each other of patronising illegality in the country-liquor trade in the state. While the opposition BJP on Monday organised demonstrations in all sub-divisions, the ruling BJD held a press conference in a bid to expose the "evil design" of the saffron party. The Congress, in a statement, blamed both the BJD and BJP and claimed that it was unnecessarily dragged into the controversy. The income-tax department continued its searches in different places linked to an Odisha-based distillery group on charges of tax evasion for the sixth consecutive day on Monday, recovering unaccounted cash to the tune of Rs 353 crore so far. Responding to a call by BJP state president Manmohan Samal, party leaders and workers took part in the protests across the state, holding placards and banners. Th

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister-designate Mohan Yadav on Monday said the swearing-in ceremony of the new government will take place on December 13. Yadav was addressing reporters in the evening after he was chosen as the leader of the BJP's legislature party. Yadav had met Governor Mangubhai Patel and staked claim to form the next government after he was declared as the BJP legislature party leader. He was accompanied by outgoing chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, state party chief VD Sharma, and the three Central observers to the Raj Bhavan, a BJP spokesperson said. The governor invited Yadav to form a government in the state and handed over a letter pertaining to his appointment as the next chief minister.

Days after income tax sleuths seized Rs 351 crore during raids against a distillery firm owned by a Congress MP's family, Home Minister Amit Shah Monday chided the INDIA bloc parties for not suspending the leader from Jharkhand. "Just now, at an MP's place in Jharkhand, I don't want to say which party he is from but the entire world knows about it, so much cash has been found that even bank's cashiers say that they have never seen so much of cash," Shah said while replying to a debate on two bills related to Jammu and Kashmir in the Rajya Sabha. He, however, did not name either the MP or the party that he belonged to. Shah said it has been five days of continuous counting and 27 cash machines deployed for counting have also "heated up", indicating that the counting of cash was still on. "None of the Ghamandia alliance (in an apparent reference to the opposition INDIA bloc) has neither commented on it nor suspended him. Not a single one (of them)," Shah said. The searches that bega
