Amidst sharp criticism for defending the tainted ministers, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday alleged that the Congress has indulged in so much corruption that it cannot see beyond it.
In the cases of Vasundhara Raje, Pankaja Munde, Sushma Swaraj and Smriti Irani, it has been categorically explained that nothing can be termed as corruption. They are so engulfed in corruption that they don't see anything else," BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi said.
The BJP, which has been defending External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj despite opposition demands that she be sacked for helping Lalit Modi, was hit with another worry last week when the former IPL boss claimed that Raje secretly supported his immigration plea in Britain.
The Congress has mounted pressure on Raje after the emergence of a letter reportedly carrying her signature, in which she backs Lalit Modi's application in the UK.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Women and Child Welfare Minister Pankaja Munde is at the centre of a Rs 206 crore scale, while a Delhi court agreed to hear a complaint against Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani over her educational qualifications.
