Congress Alleges Modi Government Failed Anti-Corruption Promise, Cites Multiple Scams
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 2014 anti-corruption promise, calling it a "hoax" marked by "minimum governance, maximum cover-ups." He cited allegations including the demonetisation described by former PM Manmohan Singh as "organised loot," a Rs 20,000 crore scam linked to the Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation merger, the electoral bonds scheme, unanswered questions on the Rafale deal, and concerns over the PM CARES Fund's transparency. The Congress also highlighted its "Hum Adani Ke Hain Kaun" campaign questioning government ties with the Adani Group. Reports of irregularities in flagship schemes and weakening of the Comptroller and Auditor General were also noted.
