In a blistering attack on BJP and its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, the Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi charged the party with ignoring corruption in states ruled by it and blocking passage of six anti-graft bills in Parliament. Addressing a rally in Belgaum in Karnataka he said without naming Modi that their leader is travelling across India and talking about eradicating corruption but does see their leaders in Karnataka indulging in corruption. He said he does not see that their party's then Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa was jailed on corruption charges and 16 of his ministers had to resign. He said he does not see corruption in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka.

Rahul Gandhi also attacked BJP for blocking passage of six anti-graft bills, which form part of government's anti-corruption framework and for whose passage he is pushing aggressively.
