Pattukottai, Tamil Nadu: BJP President Amit Shah on Wednesday trained his guns on Congress, DMK and AIADMK, accusing them of corruption and billed his party as an alternative in Tamil Nadu going for in the assembly elections.

Addrressing an election rally, the BJP president referred to various allegations of corruption against the two Dravidian parties besides BJP's arch-rival, Congress.

He charged that the DMK, AIADMK and Congress "are corrupt" and they did not "know anything other than corruption."

"DMK (is facing allegations) in 2G spectrum allocation and Aircel-Maxis.. how many scams are there against DMK," he said.

Targeting senior Congress leader and former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Mr Shah said he and his son Karti "were also facing charges," in an apparent reference to the Aircel-Maxis deal.

Mr Shah, who had last month launched a frontal attack against the ruling AIADMK, dubbing it as "most corrupt government in the country," referred to the disproportionate assets case against its party chief and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, now being heard in the Supreme Court.

"In AIADMK, there is a disproportionate assets case against Jayalalithaa," he said.

Mr Shah also accused the state government of non-cooperation in taking the Centre's Mudra Bank scheme to wider sections of the society.

The BJP chief said his party was the alternative to DMK, AIADMK and Congress and asked the people to vote for it.

The BJP is contesting the elections in tie-up with some smaller parties.
