Congress Goa Chief Shantaram Naik today said Prime MinisterNarendra Modi has no moral right to point fingers at Congress leaders, a day after he targeted the Congress leadership by saying it was "out on bail."
Addressing a news conference, Naik also alleged that the prime minister always tried to ignore charges against some BJP chief ministers but kept accusing Congress leaders every now and then over alleged corruption.
Targeting the Congress leadership on corruption at a rally in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh yesterday, Modi alleged that the party was unable to replace Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, who is being probed in a disproportionate assets case, as the top brass itself was on "bail", an apparent reference to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in connection with the National Herald case.
