Why Congress leaders are not ready for inquiry: Nitin Gadkari

AURANGABAD: BJP president Nitin Gadkari today said while he was willing to face any inquiry in the wake of allegations of floating shell companies made against him but asked why Congress leaders in line of fire were not coming forward to face similar enquiry.

"I am ready to face any inquiry on the basis of allegations levelled against me but why are not Congress leaders facing allegations coming forward to face inquiries"? Gadkari asked.

He was talking to reporters here today at the Chikalthana international airport on his way to inaugurate the crushing season of a sugar factory at Faijabad.

Replying to a question, he said all the allegations levelled against him till date have been found to be untrue.

He alleged Congress was making baseless allegations against other parties out of frustration.
