Chandigarh, Mar 14: BJP leader Satya Pal Jain on Thursday said that by re-nominating former Union Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal from Chandigarh seat, Congress has proved that "corruption is no issue" for it.

"Rahul Gandhi may talk of eradicating corruption but the party encourages and protects those who are facing serious corruption charges," Jain, former MP from Chandigarh, said.

He alleged, "Bansal's renomination proves that the entire Congress high command were beneficiaries of the Railway Scam."

"The tainted former minister's re-nomination is a challenge to the Chandigarhians, who will give a befitting reply to Congress by defeating him with a huge margin,"

Jain, the National Chairman of BJP's Committee on Legal Affairs and Election Commission Issues, said.

Jain said BJP will continue fighting against "corruption" and tainted leaders till the end.
