It's entirely for govt to act against Gadkari: Congress

October 22, 2012 19:16

Congress today left it to the government to proceed against BJP chief Nitin Gadkari following a TV channel's finding that a company which allegedly got benefits when he was a Maharashtra minister later gave him a loan of Rs. 165 crore.

"We are not soft on BJP. Their are allegations in public space. Authorities like SEBI, Income Tax department and the Finance Ministry are more than competent....sure they will take cognisance", party spokesman Sandeep Dikshit said.

Dikshit who faced a volley of questions on the issue, rejected activist Arvind Kejriwal's charge that there was collusion between his party and BJP, maintaining "personal allegations should not be dragged in public life".
