Raj CM Sharma launches onslaught against Congress for "corruption, scams"

Jaipur, Dec 14 (UNI) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Sunday launched a verbal onslaught against alleged corruption by leaders of the principal opposition Congress for their "indulgence in scams, loot and the politics of appeasement" during the party's previous regimes.
Hitting hard at the "evil of corruption", Sharma assured all, "Don't worry! The BJP government would not spare even a single individual or group for wrongdoings; every perpetrator would face the consequences," the CM said, reminding the "wrongdoers" (leaders), of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's saying "Na Tau Khaunga - Na Khaane Dunga ; Kha Bhi Liya Tau Nikalva Lunga".
Addressing the audience at the state level Swachhata Divas function and 'Shramdan' in the cleanliness drive at the embankment of the historic Jal Mahal here, Sharma said that the Congress has been having a 70-year-long tradition (practice) of corruption and scams. Many of their leaders have faced the consequences (punishment and action), some in the state during the past 2 years too.
