New Delhi: Congress MP KC Venugopal at the Parliament House complex.
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party is stealing money from the Congress’s bank accounts, said party leader KC Venugopal on Thursday, reacting to the Income Tax department deducting ₹65.89 crore from AICC, Indian Youth Congress and NSUI accounts.
The politician said the Congress never subjected the BJP to such treatment when it was ruling at the Centre.
“They (BJP) are stealing our money from the banks…We also ruled this country. If any such instance BJP can point out that they had this type of experience during the Congress-led UPA government or Congress government,” he said.
KC Venugopal said the BJP has never given any income tax as a political party. He said the income tax’s deduction was an attack on the democratic principles and values.
“And they’re trying to shut the voice of India’s opposition…This is clearly an example of dictatorship,” he said.
KC Venugopal said unlike the BJP, the Congress got this money from the workers of the party.
“As per the latest information from the banks, the BJP government forced the banks to transfer approximately ₹65.89 crores from our deposits to the government. This amount is from AICC and Indian Youth Congress account and NSUI. Unlike the BJP, we got this money from ordinary workers of the party…Just before the parliament elections, the account of the principal opposition party has been hijacked by the BJP government,” he added.
