The BJP today used a movie clip from the eighties to target the Congress over their donation drive for the upcoming elections.

The clip from the 1984 movie 'Inquilaab' featured a conversation between two characters over using black money to buy votes and passing it on as donation by well-wishers.
The scene, starring superstar Amitabh Bachchan and renowned actor Kader Khan, featured suitcases filled with cash - which the BJP used as a reference to the cash seizures from the Congress MP.
