Saikia and Dutta also stated that the there is not even a single allegation of corruption against any BJP minister due to the anti-corruption policy adopted by both the Central and the state Government. “The BJP party won’t be at any loss for any allegation made by Gandhi who himself is involved in Bofors scam,” they remarked in the statement.
