TIL Desk/National/Ahmedabad/ Bharatiya Janata Party chief Amit Shah on Friday said there was no question of corruption in his son Jay Amit Shah’s company and it had not received government land or contract worth even a rupee. He was referring to a report in the news portal, which claimed that a company owned by Jay Shah saw a huge rise in turnover after the BJP came to power in 2014.
The BJP president also hit out at the Congress, saying it did not file a defamation suit despite facing several corruption charges while his son Jay Shah has moved the court over the allegations against him.”The question of corruption does not arise (in Jay’s company),” Shah said in response to a question on the report.
“I want to raise some questions here. The Congress has faced many allegations of corruption. Have they ever filed a criminal defamation or a Rs 100 crore civil defamation suit. Why could they not gather the courage to file such a suit?” Shah asked at a programme organised by a channel in Ahmedabad. Jay, he said, has filed a defamation suit and asked for an inquiry (by approaching the court) as had the BJP.
