Strategy against Covid-19 was chalked out when the BJP came to power, added Sharma.

He (Nath) talks about his political life being unblemished but he should tell everyone why he had resigned after his name featured in Hawala scam, questioned Sharma.

Sharma also pointed fingers at Nath for Rs 600 cr electricity meter scam.
Narendra Saluja, the media co-ordinator of Kamal Nath in a statement said that stumped by Congress Aarop patra, the BJP was levelling baseless allegations on the party. If corruption took place in Kamal Nath government, why the BJP government was mum for last seven months, asked Saluja.
Objection to the remarks made against Digvijaya Singh and his family, Saluja said the Congress party will move ECI against the remarks.
Kamal Nath ji had an immaculate political career but the BJP should clarify scamsters linked to Vyapam, Plantation scam, e-tendering scam, Simhastha scam, PPE kit scam and others, are visible around BJP leaders.
