Corruption peaked during Congress regime: Jaitley

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today hit out at Congress alleging that the party did not take a single step against corruption or black money in its 10 years of UPA regime. Talking to media, the Finance Minister said, corruption peaked during Congress regime. He said, it is not surprising that Congress is uncomfortable with NDA campaign against black money.<br/><br/>Mr Jaitley said, the government is now rapidly completing the demonetisation scheme, and significant amounts will be injected in next three weeks. The Minister urged the Opposition to rise above slogans and join the campaign against black money, saying government is ready to debate this issue in Parliament.<br/><br/>Earlier, former Finance Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram termed the demonetisation move as the biggest scam of the year. He questioned how new 2000 rupees notes were hoarded by several people despite cap on withdrawal.
