BJP targets Sonia: Only talk,no action

The UPA chairperson has said in her speech at a programme in Uttarakhand that public speeches will not end corruption. I think she has read out our statement. We have been saying for long that corruption is not going to end by speeches, Hussain said.

Demanding that Sonia inform the people about the steps taken by her government to tackle corruption,the BJP spokesperson said the hands of both the UPA-I and UPA-II governments were soiled in corruption.

Listing the series of corruption cases that have taken place since the Congress-led government has been in power,the BJP said no action had been taken against Home Minister P Chidambaram in connection with the 2G case or against Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the Commonwealth Games scam.

In the Adarsh Housing scam,though Union ministers Sushilkumar Shinde and Vilasrao Deshmukh have been questioned by the CBI,they continue to be in the Cabinet. Sonia should also tell us why Goa Chief Minister Digambar Kamat is being shielded in the mining scam in the state, Hussain said.
