BJP: In the second installment of the “Congress Files,” the Bharatiya Janata Party accuses the venerable party of corruption and extortion. The alleged extortion in the guise of a painting and the promise of a Padma Bhushan are both depicted in the second episode of the Congress Files, which was released on Monday.
BJP’s video includes a case study
The BJP referred to a FATF report when highlighting former Yes Bank CEO Rana Kapoor’s statement to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), in which he claimed that he was pressured into paying Priyanka Gandhi Vadra ₹2 crore for an MF Husain painting and that he had been promised the Padma Bhushan, one of the nation’s highest civilian honours, in exchange. According to the video, the funds were intended to pay for former Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s medical care. The Congress has already referred to Rana Kapoor’s accusation as a “political vengeance” and questioned both his and the ED’s sincerity. The BJP’s video includes a “case study” that allegedly demonstrates the Gandhi family’s corruption and quotes the FATF, a global organisation that monitors money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

Congress leader had praised Kapoor for his ‘good deed’
The deal was arranged by senior Congress leader Murli Deora, according to Rana Kapoor’s statement, which was recorded by the ED on March 9 and 10, 2020. This information has already been disclosed. It continued that a prominent Congress leader, the late Ahmed Patel, had praised Kapoor for his “good deed” a few weeks after the purchase and told him that he would be “duly considered” for a significant civilian honour as well as “perhaps some non-political banking and finance jobs.” This assertion was contained in a supplemental charge sheet that the Enforcement Department (ED) submitted to the Mumbai PMLA court in April 2022.
BJP renewed its onslaught on the Congress
Since his arrest by the ED in March 2020 in connection with alleged financial irregularities and alleged kickbacks paid to him and his family in exchange for certain questionable loans issued by Yes Bank to some high-profile clients, Kapoor, 63, has been detained in a Mumbai jail. By publishing the first episode of “Congress Files” on Sunday, the BJP renewed its onslaught on the Congress over claims of corruption under its leadership. Watchers are encouraged to “watch how one after another corruption and scams took place under the Congress government,” the BJP said in a tweet from its official Twitter account.
