Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.
BJP today mocked Rahul Gandhi over his dare to the Narendra Modi government to arrest him, saying the Centre is already probing a host of alleged scams that occurred under the Congress-led UPA government and there was no need for him to challenge it.
"Government is probing 2G scam, coal scam, CWG scam... There is no need for Rahul Gandhi to challenge us," BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said.
Investigations are already underway, he said, also making a reference to controversial land deals involving the Congress vice-president's brother-in-law Robert Vadra.
Hitting back at recent allegations questioning his nationality, Mr Gandhi had dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to jail him, accusing him of using "cronies" to "throw mud" at him like the RSS and BJP had done against his parents and grand mother Indira Gandhi in the past.
