Press Trust of India  |  Dehradun 

The BJP Saturday said the people had a choice between a "corruption-free" NDA under and a "power-hungry" coalition of parties which cannot take him on single-handedly.

Asserting that NDA's return to power was a certainty, she said the choice was not difficult for people as there was a 35-party principled alliance under Modi without a single corruption charge against it in five years on one side and a power-hungry alliance on the other whose constituents know they cannot take on Modi single-handedly.

"The and company want a 'majboor' helpless government so that the corruption flourishes but people want a strong government under Modi which ends corruption," she said.

There had been open loot under the "Sonia-Manmohan government" with one big scam following another in quick succession, she said.

"People can't lose sight of the fact that and his mother both are out on bail in case," she said.

"The Congress in whose tenure payoffs in defence deals were a norm is raising questions on the Rafale deal despite the finding no irregularities in it. Nirmala Sitharaman, however, has called Rahul Gandhi's bluff on Rafale and the facts are before the people," she said.

Pandey also alleged that Vijay Mallya, and did not flee the country during the UPA tenure because they had the backing of the previous government.
