The BJP has launched a no holds barred counter-offensive against the Congress over the issue of fugitive tycoon Vijay Mallya. It stated his defunct Kingfisher Airline appeared to have been owned by “proxy” by the Gandhi family. Earlier, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi accused Finance Minister Arun Jaitley of helping Mallya flee the country.
Charges and counter-charges flew thick and fast between the two arch political rivals following Mallya’s claim in London on Wednesday that he had met Jaitley and told him that he was leaving for London.
