Congress :We always took firm action against corruption

It is worth noting that BJP only talks about corruption. It has never and will never take action against corruption. Take for example A. Raja or Suresh Kalmadi no matter how big or influential they were strict action has been initiated against them. Criminal proceedings are going on. But did BJP take action against Anantha Kumar or Banagaru Laxman or infamous Jedeo? Answer is no. Did BJP order CBI or any other investigation? Again the answer is no. However, in the case of Congress every time strict action has been taken against defaulters. The CBI is doing its job in the Kalmadi’s case. Let CBI carry out their responsibility. In contrast the BJP has shown their determination of inaction not to take any action against any of their officials. In case of A. Raja legal process is on and it does not have any co-relation with any party or the government.
