The congress party dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to come clear on the kickback charges alleged by Vice-president Rahul Gandhi and asked him not to beat around the bush. Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that ‘We will only say… please do not run helter skelter. Please do not beat around the bush. Come straight to the point. Did Modi ji take money from Birla and Sahara or did Modi ji not take the money…for Birla papers reflect a payment of Rs 25 crores to Gujarat Chief Minister and Sahara papers reflect a payment of Rs 40 crores and 10 lakhs to Modi ji.’
Assserting that the country is changing because it has started asking questions, Surjewala pointed out that the nation wants to know whether the PM has taken money or not. Speaking to the Gujarat Mehsana, Gandhi has alleged that in the records with the Income Tax, there were notings of Sahara officials’ claims that they have paid PM Modi nine times between October 2013 and February 2014 and that total amount was Rs 40 crore. He also alleged that according to documents with the IT department, the Birla group too paid Rs 12 crore to the Prime Minister. Seeking an independent inquiry, Gandhi said that he was raising the issue ‘on behalf of the country’.
