BJP tears into Gandhis
Reacting to the shocking development, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya said, “Congress was extremely critical of Modi govt’s demonetisation step but it received cash during the same period. It must answer for this money which they received in headquarters.”
“This points to the greed and hunger that Gandhis have for money. The documents and the IT trail needs explanation and none other than Sonia Gandhi should explain this as she is the head of party right now” he said.
