BJP is a washing machine that uses central investigating agencies as detergent to wash the 'spots' off political leaders, as alleged by Opposition[1]

Since 2014[2]
-- 25 Opposition leaders facing corruption probe crossed over to BJP
-- 23 of them got reprieve; 3 cases closed, 20 stalled or in cold storage

Not that this is new — it’s the scale under BJP that is unprecedented

Leaders like Arvind Kejriwal, Hemant Soren, Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Sanjay Singh who have stood against this anti-Democratic Govt

HIGHLIGHTS[3]

-- Coal Scam: Naveen Jindal BJP's Lok Sabha Candidate
-- Coal Scam: Convicted[4] leader's wife Madhu Koda BJP Lok Sabha Candidate
-- Adarsh Scam: Ashok Chavan star campaigner for BJP Maharashtra
