BJP accuses Congress of double standards on anti-corruption issue

"The Congress Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ashok Chavan, had to resign on the issue. Today, the Congress believes that it has resolved the issue by denying the sanction to prosecute Ashok Chavan and by the Cabinet rejecting the report of the Inquiry Committee probing the Adarsh scandal," he said.

Jaitley demanded that the judicial commission's report on Adarsh scam should be implemented and the guilty prosecuted.

BJP also raised the 2G scam and the manner in which the JPC report on it was "edited" to remove portions of the dissent note submitted by the main Opposition.

The party demanded that Rajasthan and Haryana governments probe allegations of land scandals "involving a key member of the first family of the Congress Party", a reference to Robert Vadra.

"The 2G spectrum allocation was a monumental fraud. Congress believes it has resolved the issue through a cover-up report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee. Even the notes of dissent submitted by the Opposition MPs have not been considered... With a JPC cover-up of the 2G spectrum allocation scam, the country needs a Commission of Inquiry to go into the whole issue," Jaitley said.

He rued that instead of clearing itself from the charges of corruption on all these issues, Congress feels that by diverting the principal issue, it can get political advantage. "Such moves will serve no useful purpose," he said.
