Ujjain, Oct 29 (IBNS): Attacking the ruling party in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s religion is corruption.

Rahul made the comment while addressing a rally in Ujjain, on the first day of his two-day trip to the state.

Accusing the BJP of corruption, he said: "BJP talks about religion. Their religion is corruption."

From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Congress chief on Monday did not spare anyone while attacking the BJP over its alleged scams.

Attempting to beware voters, Rahul said the BJP, if comes to power, "will steal everything".

Rahul even promised the voters that the Congress, if voted to power, will waive farm loans, a step not taken by the BJP government.

"Modi has waived loans of businessmen but not farmers. Congress Chief Minister will waive farm loans. If he does not, a second Congress Chief Minister will do," the Congress chief stated while trying to stick to his promises.

Rahul also alleged that Jaitley allowed fugitive businessmen Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya to flee from the country after doings scams.

Earlier in the day, the Congress supremo even visited Mahakaleshwar Temple.

The state polls will be held on Nov 28. The counting of votes will take place on Dec 11.

The Congress, under the leadership of state chief Kamal Nath and leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, is eyeing on to wrest power in the state.

The Madhya Pradesh poll is crucial for both the Congress and ruling BJP ahead of the next Lok Sabha elections, which will be held in few months' time.
