Jaipur, November 24
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the ‘red diary’ had become the symbol of Congress’s corruption and the people of Rajasthan were quizzing the Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot on the issue.
Shah said that it never happened in the country’s history that Rs 2.35 crore cash and 1 kg of gold were recovered from the ministry’s cupboard and there was no reaction from the Chief Minister. “Lal Diary has become the symbol of Congress’s corruption…I have never seen anybody reacting too casually to corruption,” Shah said.
“People are questioning Ashok Gehlot about the ‘red diary’. Why are they afraid of it?” he added.
