’Cong should go to court..’: Amit Shah on Rahul Gandhi’s ‘40% commission BJP govt’ jibe

Hitting back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's allegations of '40% commission BJP govt' in Karnataka, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “They can talk about it & should go to court if they have concrete evidence. Neither there's any probe nor there's any case. How will people believe in such baseless allegations?”

Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi commented that the BJP govenment is the most corrupt in India. “They take 40% commission, the same money that was used to steal MLAs of the previous government.” He also questioned, “Will the PM tell about source of money used to buy MLAs in Goa, MP, Karnataka, Northeast.”
