Referring to the Bofors and AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam, she alleged that three generations of the Gandhi family were involved in corruption. The Congress president does not have any issue for the general elections and therefore, was "spreading lies" on the Rafale issue to hide his party's failure, Lekhi said at a press conference here.

The Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are delivering honest and transparent governance, unlike the Congress, which during its 60 years of rule was named in some of the other corruption cases, the BJP leader said.
