Congress leader Pramod Tiwari accuses BJP for doing double-faced politics

New Delhi, Jan 5 (ANI): Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for inducting tainted BSP minister Babu Singh Kushwaha into their party to strengthen its political base ahead of Uttar Pradesh's assembly polls, Congress leader Pramod Tiwari on Thursday said that BJP was a ' two faced party', which demands transparency on one side and shields corrupt people on the other.

Talking to reporters here, Tiwari called BJP as a party completely drenched in corruption.

"Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is known for its dual face, character and working. But now I would like to say that the work done by the Bharatiya Janata Party would be remembered as a black-spot in the Indian politics. They have taken two such steps in the Indian political scenario for which people who have due respect for honesty will not forgive Bharatiya Janata Party and its current leadership," said Tiwari.

Tiwari further said it is unfortunate that for the purpose of political mileage, BJP has not only joined hands with corrupt people but also tried to protect those whom they were opposing few days ago.

"I feel that the money laundered in the NRHM scam has been distributed sideways also. And the investigation on the leaders who have showed their interest in bringing Babu Singh Kushwaha in their party should also take place to see whether the money siphoned from NRHM has reached them or not. Otherwise the BJP who has been slamming the same person few days back and calling him corrupt and culprit in the case was seen presenting bouquet of flowers, garlands in their office. So I think that nothing beyond this could be said for the dual character of the party," he said.

Tiwari further said that I would like to make a suggestion to BJP that they should speak on anything except the Lokpal bill.

"I would like to say that today if in Indian constitution the Lokpal bill had not been made then if somebody who is responsible for it is then it is BJP. They got frightened because all the chief ministers of the state where there is a BJP led government they said that you were not able to become Prime Minister but our government would meet the same fate as the government in Karnataka and its former Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa had to face. There is no other party in the Indian politics than Bharatiya Janata Party, which is completely into corruption, and they have no moral and constitutional right. And they are even not capable of showing their face anywhere," said Tiwari.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday raided Kushwaha's residence for his alleged involvement in swindling funds allocated to the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), a Central Government's health scheme for the rural population.

The investigating agency also conducted raids at over 50 other locations in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi.

Kushwaha has been named as an accused with 50 others including government officials in FIRs registered against the NRHM officials and private companies. They have been charged with criminal misconduct and abuse of office. (ANI)
