Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s had claimed last week that the information he is having against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s corrupt practices would trigger ‘an earthquake’ in Delhi. That’s why, he said that the government is preventing him and the opposition to speak in the Parliament.

After a week, when he really chosen to `expose Modi’ while addressing a rally in Modi’s native state Gujarat, that fails to create any `sensation’, no one find something new in his allegation. Moreover, it seem he himself lasted as a `laughing stock’ among political circles.

Rahul Gandhi last evening alleged that Modi had taken money from Sahara and Birla groups as bribes in 2013-14 when he was Gujarat’s chief minister. “About nine payments were made to Narendra Modi within a span of six months,” he said.

Stating that this has been noted by the income tax department, he sought that Modiji should answer whether it is true or false? He also demanded an independent inquiry into income tax papers involving two business houses that alleged to have paid Modi.

Incidentally, there are not new allegations. More than ago after month, Delhi chief Minister Aravind Kejriwal makes these allegations in the Delhi Assembly. Just a week earlier, the Supreme Court said it didn’t see “even smallest material” to substantiate the charge. However, Rahul Gandhi chosen to repeat that allegations again.

The Supreme Court has dismissed documents seized by the income tax department — which Rahul Gandhi referred yesterday to attack Narendra Modi for corruption — as “zero”, “fictitious” and “not authentic”.

The documents are part of a PIL filed by lawyer Prashant Bhushan alleging pay-offs by corporate houses to politicians, including Modi during his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister. The court has said the documents were not credible enough for a probe to be ordered.
