Calcutta, Feb. 16 : The BJP top leadership today met here to chart out an action plan to add vigour to the fight against corruption nationwide.

“A JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee) probe on all the scams including Adarsh, the Isro scam and the Rs 1,000-crore scam in Dima Hasao (formerly NC Hills) and a statement from the Prime Minister on the issues will be demanded by the party,” said party spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman.

“We had a separate discussion on scams in the Northeast in our executive meeting too,” said Sitharaman.

“The situation there is grave. The Tarun Gogoi government is the most corrupt in the country and has to go. We hope this election will teach the incumbent government a lesson.”

Asked whether the BJP, which has not done too well in the northeastern states, has any specific plans for the Assam election.

Sitharaman denied the lack of presence and was hopeful.

“The BJP earlier formed a government in coalition in Mizoram and has a strong presence in Assam,” she said.

She said the Congress has done very little for the Northeast whether it is the Gogoi government in Assam, which reeks of the NC Hills scam or the Arunachal Pradesh government which has signed MoUs with dubious companies, and has no right to stay on in power.

Later in the day, the party held a public meeting on the Shahid Minar ground, Calcutta, to mobilise support on the corruption plank.

Party president Nitin Gadkari and L.K. Advani spoke on skyrocketing food prices, nationwide corruption and called upon the people to overthrow the incumbent Left Front government in West Bengal.

Bihar and Gujarat were projected as model states by the party leadership and the promises were of new Gujarats and Bihars.
