    Only if someone is threat to BJP that person is slapped with unprecedented, innovative, fabricated legal charges if not a threat then that person is free as a bird irrespective of how grave charges he carries. This is BJP way of ruling the country. So where is the unbiased justice and accountability with BJP????. No wonder BJP has all the criminals and ministers with decoit back ground waiting in line to get Clean Chits in return for guaranteed bonded voters.
