Manmohan Singh cannot run away from scams taken place under his regime: Amit Shah
February 09, 2017
A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi passed 'raincoat' remark on his
predecessor Dr. Manmohan Singh, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president
Amit Shah on Thursday said though the former prime minister never took
responsibility of the scams that took place under the UPA regime, he can
neither run away from it.
"Prime Minister Modi is speaking the
truth that Manmohan Singh didn't take responsibility of any of the
scams. But he can neither run away from the various irregularities that
took place during the UPA regime," Shah said while addressing a election
rally in Uttarakhand.
Backing Prime Minister Modi's comment, Shah said
that Dr. Manmohan Singh should be held accountable for the scams that
took place during his regime.
Further taking a jibe at Congress
vice-president Rahul Gandhi questioning the BJP-led NDA government's
accountability in two and a half years, Shah said, "In two and a half
years we have accomplished one important thing. We gave a speaking Prime
Minister to the country, but the Congress government on the other hand
gave us a Prime Minister whose voice could only be heard by Rahul and
his mother."
Shah also attacked Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish
Rawat and said that the holy land have never seen the kind of
corruption in which the former is indulged in.
