New Delhi: Raking up the AgustaWestland scam, the BJP on Wednesday countered Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s demands on note ban crisis and asked him to first answer who benefited in the 2012-13 VVIP chopper deal. Bharatiya Janata Party National Secretary Shrikant Sharma said that Gandhi’s frustration was understood as he was helping those who earlier looted the country.

“We understand your frustration, Rahul Gandhiji, because you have been helping those who tried to destroy the nation with their black money,” Sharma said. “Since the allegations against you in the VVIP chopper scam reached your doorstep, you should first answer who benefited from the ‘mota maal’ (hefty amount),” he said.

He also warned the Congress against doing politics over the deaths caused in the past 48 days after demonetisation was announced. “We are pained whenever there’s any death. But do not do politics over it, Rahulji, and do not forget about the thousands of farmers who committed suicides in your tenure,” Sharma said.

Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
