In an effort to challenge the Narendra Modi government’s narrative having provided corruption free governance, the Congress on Thursday accused the prime minister of “hypocrisy” in fighting corruption. It made public a compilation of alleged scams the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ruled state governments and its leaders are purportedly embroiled in.
Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said the Modi government was systematically weakening anti-corruption laws made under the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) 1 and 2 regimes. "We urge the prime minister to stop the sermons and take action against corruption. Start by cleaning up your own house," Singhvi said.
