BJP has hit out at Congress alleging that family and commerce run hand-in-hand and are integrally linked for the party.

Briefing media in New Delhi, Union Minister and senior party leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said that Rs 90 crores were given to the National Herald paper and government properties worth Rs 2,000 crores were handed to the Associated Journals Limited which used to run the paper, even after the newspaper ceased operations in 2008.

Mr Prasad said, in 2010, Young India Limited was formed and was exempted from Income Tax in the name of a charitable trust. He alleged the Congress has hidden the facts for tax exemption.

Mr Prasad said, the BJP condemns this palpable, dubious transaction of undue enrichment which is corruption.
