Will probe corrupt leaders, no matter how prominent, says Rajnath Singh

Belagavi: Union defence minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said the BJP government will probe all the corrupt leaders irrespective of how prominent they are. While addressing a public rally in Dharwad, Rajnath Singh said, "Corruption is under attack today, big leaders are going to jail and they (Opposition) claim that this probe is intentional. This govt will probe all the corrupt leaders, no matter how prominent they are."

"I want to ask you, shall corruption be ended in this country or not? We will not spare anyone who is involved in corruption. In the last 9 years assets worth one lakh ten thousand crore rupees have been seized under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. While UPA in their 10 years seized assets worth only Rs 5,000 crore," he added.

"If there is any political party in the history of India which took the support of dharma, or rather mazhab to come to power, then it is Congress," Singh said, addressing a public meeting at Kagwad in Belagavi district. The Congress does the "politics of Hindu, Muslim and Christians", Singh said. "Politics of this sort should never ever be done."
