Madhya Pradesh BJP threatens to take action against Priyanka Gandhi over corruption claim: ‘Give proof otherwise…’
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that a union of contractors has written a letter to the Chief Justice of the High Court complaining that they receive payment for their work only after paying 50% commission. "The corrupt BJP government in Karnataka used to collect 40% commission. In Madhya Pradesh, BJP has gone ahead by breaking its own record of corruption.
People of Karnataka ousted the 40% commission government, now the people of Madhya Pradesh will remove the 50% commission government from power," she said in a tweet. The allegations were not taken well by the people in government and BJP unit with MP BJP chief V D Sharma warning of legal action against Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for circulating a fake letter. Home Minister Narottam Mishra also responded to the allegations and accused Congress of playing politics "with a disgusting mentality" without any issue.
"State Congress leaders first got Rahul Gandhi to lie and now got Priyanka Gandhi to make a false tweet. Priyanka ji, give proof of your tweets, otherwise, we have all options open for action," the minister said. "This is a conspiracy and BJP will take action for this tweet under cybercrime...She will have to tell from where did she get this letter.
