Surat: Addressing an election rally here, Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee president (GPCC) Arjun Modhwadia today said that corruption has bloomed during Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) 17-year rule in the state.

"During BJP's 17-year rule, 17 scams to the tune of Rs 1 lakh crore have come to the fore. BJP has been unable to offer good administration during its tenure and yet it advises Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on how to govern," he said.

Accusing the state government of snatching away the rights of youth, women, farmers and traders, Modhwadia said that voters are ready to oust the BJP government in the upcoming assembly polls.

Alleging that the BJP government of not giving importance to textile and diamond industries, the senior Congress leader said that the state government was only concerned about industrialists.

The Porbandar MLA alleged nexus between BJP party leaders and the land mafia, adding that this had added to the woes of the lower middle class.

Union minister of state for transport Tushar Chaudhry said that Dalits, adivasis, scheduled castes and backward classes have only suffered injustice at the BJP's hands, adding that it was important to vote Congress to power to stop this injustice.

what a joke, congress speaking about corruption, Congress has looted public since independence and is speaking about corruption. Congress will be wiped out during LS elections. Single MP from Congress should not be elected, Gujurat people will bring back Modi as he is the CM who has brought glory to Gujrat but the congress in center has brought shame /black spot to the country. 2G Scam (RAJA), Coal Gate Scam (PM) and now kejriwals Robert Vadra are all some of the scams. Die Congress die.

See who is talking. The party which is completely corrupted and does not have any limit in corruption is talking about corruption. All Congress party leaders in Gujarat are hungry for money and can do anything for getting power.
