Rahul Gandhi visits Balaghat: ‘Total government failure… will raise issue in Parliament’
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused the Congress party and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi of double standards regarding allegations of corruption and a paper leak in the Veterinary Officers Recruitment Examination held in Karnataka. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra raised concerns about the alleged leak, which allegedly involved a middleman and resulted in the loss of ₹1.52 crore through bribes.
Patra also questioned Rahul Gandhi about a diamond necklace reportedly purchased by the IAS officer involved in the leak, demanding to know who received the necklace and under what circumstances. The Karnataka High Court ordered the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the irregularities, but the Congress government subsequently challenged the order in the Supreme Court.
Patra queried the Congress' decision to contest the High Court's directive, accusing them of remaining silent on controversies within their own ruled states while demanding investigations in BJP-ruled states.
