New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi's barbs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi today were served in the form of a sarcastic reminder of his comments on corruption last year - "Na khaoonga na khaney doonga (I won't be corrupt and won't allow others to be).
Referring to the Vyapam and Lalit Modi controversies that have engulfed the BJP's governments in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the Congress vice president questioned why PM Modi had allowed Chief Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Vasundhara Raje to continue in office.
"Prime Minister, your words should carry some weight. Aap Rajasthan mein khaney kyun de rahey hain? (Why are you allowing corruption in Rajasthan?) Why are you not bringing back Lalit Modi? Aap Shivraj Singh Chouhan ko Khaaney kyun de rahey hain? (Why are you allowing Shivraj Singh Chouhan's corruption?)," Mr Gandhi said.
Mr Gandhi's dig came on a day the Supreme Court ordered a CBI investigation into the Vyapam admission and recruitment scam in Madhya Pradesh and the alarming number of deaths that the Congress alleges are proof of a brutal cover-up by Mr Chouhan and his government.
The Congress has vowed to raise demands for the removal of Mr Chouhan and also Vasundhara Raje, who has been attacked for helping disgraced cricket boss Lalit Modi at a time he was being investigated for corruption and his passport had been cancelled.
