Congress trying to topple campaign against corruption: CP Thakur

Bihar BJP president and Rajya Sabha member C P Thakur today accused the Congress of trying to topple the campaign against corruption in the country and appealed to the people to take pledge to end corruption on the occasion of Chhath festival.

"The Congress is virtually trying to topple the campaign and atmosphere against corruption in the country," Thakur told reporters.

He said, on the occasion of Chhath festival, "I appeal to the people of the state take a pledge to totally eradicate corruption".

"I also stress the need for a freedom struggle-like movement against corruption," he said.

"Be it Gandhian Anna Hazare or Yoga guru Ramdev, who have intensified the campaign against corruption, Congress party has always tried to lower the morale of such people," Thakur alleged.
