Chandigarh , 23 May (KNS) : BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh has made a scathing attack on the Congress party over fresh revelations in the National Herald case, calling it a "historic example of how a political party looted its own legacy."

Chugh said that the case is not just about financial irregularities — it is about how the Congress turned a newspaper founded during the freedom struggle into a private asset for the Nehru-Gandhi family. “The recent ED report has marked ?142 crore as ‘proceeds of crime.’ The question is — who used this money and for what purpose?” Chugh asked.

He pointed out the strange transaction where a company owning thousands of crores worth of property was ‘sold’ for just ?90 crore, and shockingly, both the buyer and seller belonged to the same political ecosystem.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel“This is not corruption between two parties — this is corruption within the same party,” he remarked.

Tarun Chugh also questioned the Congress’s narrative of calling the National Herald a symbol of the freedom movement. “If it was truly a legacy project of the Congress, why didn’t the lakhs of Congress workers come forward to save it? Why was it allowed to collapse only to be quietly taken over through dubious deals?” he said.

He said that today’s Congress, driven by greed and dynastic control, has nothing in common with the party that once chanted “Ek chhavanni chandi ki, jai bolo Mahatma Gandhi ki.” “This isn’t just a financial scam. It’s a deep reflection of how the Congress has fallen — ethically, morally, and ideologically,” Chugh concluded.(KNS)
