Anti-graft issues: Rahul is a late entrant, says Jaitley

New Delhi: Calling Rahul Gandhi a late entrant on the anti-corruption plank, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday said the Congress vice president should have spoken on the issue much earlier.

“He (Rahul) is a late entrant and he should have spoken on the anti-graft bills much earlier,” said Arun Jaitley, leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha.

After the 15th Lok Sabha’s last session Friday, Gandhi has accused the BJP of blocking passage of anti-graft bills in parliament.

BJP has however rejected the charge saying it was members of the Congress who disrupted parliament proceedings.
