Congress Spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill on Thursday, December 6, said the BJP linking, Congress with Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the AgustaWestland chopper deal, on the basis of an "expelled lawyer" is a case of the "pot calling the kettle black".

Many top leaders of the ruling party have represented "fraudsters" in the past, Congress spokesperson Shergill said at a press conference.

“The baggage of corruption, unemployment, farmer anger is going to completely sink the BJP on December 11 and that is why now they are doing meaningless Press Conferences and clutching to the straws,” alleged the Congress leader.

On Wednesday, December 5, the Congress expelled Youth Congress leader and lawyer Aljo K Joseph from the party after he appeared in a court here for Michel, who was extradited from Dubai on Tuesday for allegedly being the middleman in the UPA era ₹ 3,600 crore VVIP helicopter deal.

Shergill alleged that the BJP is a "one stop shop which provides full service to fraudsters and scamsters by acting as their advisors, lawyers, boarding pass agents, ticket agents, establishing in London agents and police protection agents".

"The BJP linking the Congress party with AgustaWestland on the basis of an expelled Congress lawyer is a classic case of pot calling the kettle black," he said
