Noting that his party has been seeking a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the deal, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera asked as to why the government has not agreed to this. The Congress hit back at the BJP, saying that the government has launched "operation cover up" and demanded to know as to why it had not probed the entire episode so far. "He should respond to this from Italy," Patra said, citing reports that the Congress leader is currently not in India.Ĭorruption has become "homeless" after the BJP came to power, and its address is 10 Janpath, he alleged, referring to the residence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Patra also sought Rahul Gandhi's response to the fresh revelation by French investigative journal Mediapart.
