I hope they are taught a lesson: Ram Jethmalani attacks BJP govt on black money issue

Jethmalani, a former BJP man who was expelled by the party for his alleged anti-party activities, claimed that although the German government was willing to share the information with Indian authorities, but the Indian government “didn’t bother” to get it.

“The German government officially declared that it was willing to share the names with any friendly government, without cost, without condition and nobody from India bothered about it. On top of it, after having won the election, the party president, who has been appointed by Modi, makes a public statement that all this talk of corruption, of getting back the black money from abroad, was an election jumla, a joke,” said Jethmalani taking pot shorts at BJP President Amit Shah.

This was the prime reason, Jethmalani told the gathering of students, medical delegates, faculty members, that he endorsed Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav during Bihar Assembly Elections.

“I addressed two meetings in Bihar and I told the people of Bihar that they should support Nitish and Lalu because the NDA had betrayed the people and did not deserve their support. I also told them that I was there to seek their forgiveness and told them that Modi had fooled me. Although I had been expelled from the BJP, I worked for him during the 2014 election campaign. They cheated everyone. I hope the people of India teach him a lesson,” said 92-year-old Jethmalani who is a Member of Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan.
