New Delhi [India], July 21 (ANI): Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Chandra Pawar) MP Supriya Sule said that she laughed hearing Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on party supremo Sharad Pawar referring to him as “mastermind of corruption”.
Sule said that 90 per cent of people accused of corruption by the BJP are now part of the BJP.
“I laughed hearing this because it was the same Modi government which Amit Shah ji is also part of, not the NDA government now but the previous Modi government that awarded Sharad Pawar with Padma Vibhushan,” Sule said while speaking to ANI on Sunday.
“Today in Amit Shah’s program, the person who was accused of the most corruption, Ashok Chavan, was sitting behind him, so 90 per cent of the people who have been accused of corruption by BJP are in BJP today because of the washing machine,” she added.
Earlier in the day, while addressing the BJP conclave in Maharashtra’s Pune, Amit Shah launched sharp attacks on Sharad Pawar and accused him of “institutionalising” corruption.
“They (the opposition) are speaking about corruption. The biggest mastermind of corruption in Indian politics is Sharad Pawar and I have no confusion in that. What will they accuse us of now? If somebody has done the job of institutionalising corruption, Sharad Pawar, it is you. And you are accusing us of corruption?” Amit Shah said while addressing BJP conclave in Maharashtra’s Pune on Sunday.
Shah further accused Sharad Pawar of “disabling” the Maratha reservation whenever his party came to power in the state. Shah also vowed to continue the Maratha reservation in the state if voted to power.
“Whenever the BJP government comes to power in Maharashtra, Marathas get a reservation and whenever Sharad Pawar’s government comes to power, Maratha reservation disappears. Pawar government disables it whenever they get a chance. But I want to say that the 10-year extension was given only during the time of Modi Ji and despite having an absolute majority, the work of strengthening reservation was done by our leader Modi Ji,” he said.
