BJP today said Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has committed "treason" by not releasing the "evidence" of corruption against Prime Minister Narendra Modi after raising allegations.

"Rahul Gandhi by not releasing the evidence against the PM after making the allegations had committed treason," BJP All-India general secretary P Muralidhar Rao told reporters on the sidelines of the party's four-day state meeting here, which will conclude tomorrow.

Gandhi had two days ago claimed that he has detailed information about "personal corruption" by the PM which he wants to present in Lok Sabha but was not being allowed to do so.

Taking a dig at the Congress leader, Rao said his attempt was only to find space in media headlines, according to a BJP release.
 

"Rahul, who had wept saying that he was not allowed to speak in Parliament, can easily hand over the evidence he had to the Speaker. He should show the courage for that," Rao said.

Blaming the Opposition for the washout of the winter session, Rao said they (opposition) come to the House with new conditions every day, which led to disruptions and discussions not taking place.

"If the financial reforms were not acceptable to the people, it would not have lasted even for a day," he said.

It was during the tenure of the previous UPA government that there was a huge growth in black money in the country, he alleged.

Rao also wanted BJP workers to take the achievements of the Modi government to people across the state.
