Ajmer: Mounting a scathing attack on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress president Sonia Gandhi today (Nov 28) accused the Central Government headed by the saffron party of "breaking all records of corruption" and said it has no right to seek votes from the people after "betraying them".

"It seems that BJP leaders are vying with one another to find a place in a book of records for indulging in bribery and corruption," she told an election rally in Ajmer.

Alleging that "corruption is rampant under the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) rule, which has broken all records of corruption," Gandhi asked "on what basis the BJP is seeking votes in Assembly elections?"

"The BJP has no right to seek votes from the people after betraying them," the Congress president said.

Without naming any one, Gandhi asked, "What kind of justice it is where people are not arrested even after being caught on video accepting bribe?"

Charging BJP with "eroding diversity, the unique feature and the real beauty of Indian culture, by its divisive agenda," she said Congress would never tolerate communal forces.

Indirectly referring to the arrest of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Praveen Bhai Togadia in Ajmer a few months back, Gandhi said communal forces were kept in control during the five-year rule of Congress in Rajasthan.

"Congress wants social unity and amity and works for uplift of Dalits, backward people and women," she said.
