NEW DELHI: Union minister Smriti Irani on Tuesday accused the Congress of perpetrating corruption and said he has "no problem hugging the Prime Minister, but he doesn't want to meet I-T officials".Irani was referring to Delhi high court's decision of Monday to allow a reassessment of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi 's tax returns for the financial year 2011-2012. The duo had filed a plea challenging the income tax notice seeking tax reassessment."Why is it that Mr. Rahul Gandhi is quick to hug Prime Minister, but runs miles away when it comes to an income tax officer?" asked Irani.Irani cited what she said are other examples of the Congress's alleged malfeasance.Referring to comments made Tuesday by former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan , Irani said the Congress is responsible for the increase in bad loans.Rajan said that a larger number of bad loans originated in the period 2006-2008 when economic growth was strong, and previous infrastructure projects such as power plants had been completed on time and within budget."The Congress was exposed yesterday. Raghuram Rajan's statement clearly proves that it is Congress who is responsible for increased NPA. Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Vadra and Sonia Gandhi wanted to sabotage the taxpayer's money," said the Union minister.Irani further alleged that Sonia attacked the core of the banking system."UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi led a government that attacked the very core of the Indian banking system. Raghuram Rajan said that between 2006-08, the UPA functioning led to increased NPAs in India's banking structure," said Irani.Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's interaction with Anganwadi workers on Tuesday, Irani said that while the PM was busy empowering the poor people, Gandhi family was only interested in self empowerment."On the one hand PM Modi is being led by the poor to financially empower the poor people, and on the other hand, the top leadership activities of the Congress are coming to the public and presenting the same example that the Gandhi family's motivations are limited to empowering themselves," she said.
