New Delhi: BJP chief Amit Shah today said Congress President Sonia Gandhi should make it clear who received bribes in the AgustaWestland chopper scam.
"She should clear who took the money... If she says this much, everything will be clear in front of the people," Mr Shah said.
"You say are not scared of anything. We in the BJP fear the Constitution, rule of law and societal norms," the BJP president said, daring the Congress chief.
"I have done nothing wrong. The government is there for two years, an inquiry is there. Why don't they complete it as early as possible...and impartially?" she asked, speaking to reporters.
The helicopters are manufactured by AgustaWestland, whose parent company is Italian; its top executives were investigated for corruption in Italy.
Documents related to the negotiations and reviewed by the Italian court refer to "Signora Gandhi" as "the driving force" in seeking the new helicopters and mention her advisors including Ahmed Patel and then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The BJP says this proves that Mrs Gandhi and the party's top leaders were involved in kickbacks.
