Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is in Rajasthan, campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections. Addressing a rally on Thursday, Congress leader alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling central government are doing most of the corruption in the country through electoral bonds.
"Extortion is going on and its name is electoral bonds," Gandhi said while addressing a rally in Phalodi in the Jodhpur constituency of Rajasthan in support of the Congress candidate from the seat in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Karan Singh Uchiyarda.
The Congress leader said industrialist Gautam Adani's stock prices started rising after 2014 when the BJP came to power at the Centre, and continue to rise because India knows that Adani and the prime minister have a very good relationship.
"Modi said 'I want to eliminate corruption' and brought the electoral bonds scheme. Industrialists gave thousands of crores of rupees to the BJP (through electoral bonds). Modi said no one should know the name of the person who gives money under the scheme. A few days ago, the Supreme Court said the scheme is illegal and should be cancelled," Gandhi said.
