BJP questions Rahul's silence on Virbhadra

The BJP on Sunday questioned the “silence” of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi over the charge sheet filed by the CBI against Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh in a disproportionate assets case.

Addressing a press conference here, BJP general secretary Bhupender Yadav demanded Singh’s resignation, accusing him of becoming a “symbol of corruption”.

“The Congress is going through a morality crisis. Why is it silent even after a court has rejected Singh’s plea to quash the FIR against him?” Yadav said. BJP youth wing activists took out a protest march at the Congress headquarters  to press for Singh’s resignation.
