Just a day after BJP released a booklet 'Damaad Shri', regarding the Congress President Sonia Gandhi's Son-in-Law, now Congress has targeted BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, questioning his links with an alleged 'hawala kingpin' whose house and office in Surat were searched by the Enforcement Directorate last month.
Congress party spokesman Randeep Surjewala alleged that the'hawala kingpin' was a "well-known BJP supporter and protege of Shri Narendra Modi".
He said that the ED March 22 raided the house and office of the said "kingpin", reportedly a diamond trader by profession, and claimed to have unearthed a hawala racket worth approximately Rs.700 crore.
Surjewala asked, "What is the nature of relationship of Shri Narendra Modi with alleged hawala kingpin?"
Surjewala demanded to know if pictures of the diamond trader on Modi's and BJP's website holding meetings in the Gujarat chief minister's office "reflect a proximate relationship that needs to be examined and investigated?"
Needless to say, not the level of campaigning during the election has been reached to its lower level and now even personal remarks have become common issues. It is understood that the Congress' latest allegations come in the wake of Modi claiming earlier in one of his rallies that Hasan Ali, a Pune based businessman accused of laundering black money, had been "saved" by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
Yesterday BJP has also releases a booklet and video in which Robert Vadhra was targeted by BJP.
