The Congress on Tuesday accused the BJP government of indulging in "massive corruption of thousands of crores by exempting some foreign companies, including four Chinese firms, from paying anti-dumping duty on soda ash". The party also demanded that a Supreme Court-monitored investigation, under a sitting judge, should be carried out in this regard.

"A corruption scandal worth thousands of crores has been orchestrated by the BJP by doing away the 'anti-dumping duty' on soda ash and ceramic industry from few companies," said Congress spokesperson Shaktisinh Gohil.
