Congress is synonymous with corruption: says BJP
New Delhi: on Tuesday, the BJP said that the corruption of UPA is giving a bad name to the country by attacking the Congress over a US media report about payment of bribes to local officials in India by retail giant Walmart.
BJP spokesperson G. V. L. Narsimha Rao said at a press conference, “The revelation is damaging the image of brand India created by the NDA government. The corruption of previous regime is surfacing regularly giving a bad name to the country”.
He also alleged that Congress is synonymous with corruption.
A US newspaper has reported that Wal-Mart paid millions of dollars as bribes to junior officials to help move goods through customs or obtain real estate permits.
In 2012, Wal-Mart disclosed that it had spent $25 million over a span of four years to lobby US lawmakers to help it gain access to foreign markets including India.
