Congress doing ‘celebration of corruption’: BJP
Tirupati: Responding to the state party call, the Congress activists staged dharna at Nalugukalla Mandapam junction here on Saturday protesting BJP-led NDA government’s vindictive action against the Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party’s Vice-President Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. But on Saturday, in a massive show of strength, the party exploited their leaders’ appearance before a city court in the National Herald case to the hilt, to convey political message and revive spirits of its cadres.

If nothing else, then this can easily be termed as the crowning glory of the BJP rule and the Party needs to thank Subramaniam Swamy for that. The present government was purposefully misusing government agencies to target us.
Burning the effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and shouting slogans against both prime minister and BJP at Sirsi Bus Stand, the protestors later walked towards Shivaji Square. They think that opposition will bend.
The BJP rejects any suggestion it is involved in the case, saying Swamy acted alone and stressing the court’s independence.
After the Gandhis were granted bail, Congress leader Kapil Sibal told reporters: “Bail to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have been granted without condition”.
Sonia and Rahul were first summoned in the case in June 2014 but refused to appear in court in person, sending their lawyers instead. Top BJP leaders, some of them who played a game of cricket at the playground of the capital’s plush Delhi Public School playground, constantly checked developments at the court on their cellphones.
Congress MPs have been asked to gather at the party headquarters tomorrow ahead of the appearance of the Gandhis in the court as a measure of solidarity. “The battle is on its right track”, Swamy said.
The legal battle has sown further bitterness between the Congress and Modi, who had vowed a “Congress-free India” even before he crushed the Gandhis in an election in 2015.
The mother-son duo were accompanied to the court by Priyanka Vadra, daughter of Sonia. Senior Congress leaders said while the legal process will take its course – the next hearing is on February 20 – the party will plan a series of countrywide agitations in the coming weeks to publicise that their leaders are being unfairly targeted by a vindictive government.

Nonetheless, BJP’s high-level conspiracy to sully the images of the two Congress leaders and suppress Congress party must be opposed. “Unfortunately, Congress and corruption are made for each other”, said parliamentary affairs minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.
