Patna: Emboldened by the Supreme Court judgement on petitions seeking a probe into CBI judge B.H. Loya's death, the BJP on Friday came up with a set of questions for the Congress.

At a media interaction, the party's Bihar unit president, Nityanand Rai, demanded that the Congress apologise to BJP national president Amit Shah. The late judge was handling a murder case in which Shah was an accused when he died of a heart attack in 2014.

The BJP asked why the Congress met the President on the Loya issue. "What logic did the Congress have behind meeting the President with 150 MPs over the Loya issue," Rai asked. "Does the Congress not trust the Supreme Court and the judicial system of the country?"

Rai didn't stop there. "Has the Congress not made a mockery of democracy by spreading rumours and doing cheap politics on the Loya issue? It should say whether or not it believes in democratic institutions." Rai then said the Gandhi family believes the country's reign should always be in their hand and when a person from a poor family got a chance it hatched a political conspiracy against him.

Rai also sought an explanation from Rahul, saying he was asking questions when he had gone to meet the President and also used to level allegations against Amit Shah. Having lost in the court of the public, he said, the Congress was trying to promote its politics through the corridor of courts.
