"As far the anti-corruption yatra of BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate and permanent PM-in-waiting Advani is concerned, the history of corruption in India cannot be complete without mentioning the names and corrupt practices of Bangaru Laxman, Dilip Singh Judev, B S Yeddyurappa and Reddy brothers," Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi told reporters.

He also took a jibe at senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj who visited Tihar jail to meet accused in cash-for-votes case-- two former party MPs and L K Advani's ex-aide Sudheendra Kulkarni and expressed solidarity with them.

"If anybody gives such a statement, it appears the person has lost faith in the judiciary of the country," Alvi said.

He also said that Congress had nothing to with the cash for vote issue.
