Shillong: The BJP Meghalaya has launched a scathing attack on the Congress, accusing it of being deeply entangled in corruption despite claiming to follow the principles of truth upheld by Mahatma Gandhi.
Addressing the media, BJP Meghalaya State General Secretary Wankitbok Pohshna said the Congress can no longer hide its corrupt practices, especially with party leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi now facing legal action for alleged financial misappropriation in the National Herald case.
“The Congress claims to stand for truth, but today it stands exposed. Their leaders have been charge-sheeted under the law for misuse of funds. This is not just about a protest, it’s an attempt to mislead the people of India,” Pohshna said.
He alleged that the Congress leadership misused party funds to repay loans worth ₹90 crore taken by Associated Journals Limited (AJL) the company that owned the National Herald newspaper. Pohshna questioned how AJL was taken over by Young Indian Pvt. Ltd., a company formed in 2012, with 76% shareholding held by Sonia and Rahul Gandhi.
According to him, the real estate assets of AJL are now worth nearly ₹5,000 crore across India, and this raised serious questions about the intent behind the Congress party’s financial dealings.
He added that the Enforcement Directorate has already filed charge sheets against both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, and the investigation, which began in 2012, continues to bring facts to light.
“What answers will the Congress now give to the people of Meghalaya and the rest of India?” asked Pohshna, while stating that corruption and the Congress party appear to go hand in hand.
