Prime Minister Narendra Modi decried politicians who have blamed corruption charges against them on the political vendetta.
He exhorted political parties to distance themselves from tainted members who had lowered the image of politicians and the country.
While addressing floor leaders on the eve of the monsoon session of Parliament, Modi sent a strong message that the government would not budge to the opposition parties which have accused it of political vendetta.
Modi’s strong words on corruption are seen in the context of ripening probes against opposition members Lalu Prasad, Mayawati and Mamata Banerjee.
The Prime Minister’s comments make it clear that investigations will continue apace.
“When the law takes its course against those looting the country, they try to escape by dubbing the action as the political conspiracy. All parties need to come together against such elements,” Modi said.
Modi’s comments come at a time when cracks have appeared in the Bihar coalition with chief minister Nitish Kumar toughening his stance against deputy CM and RJD neta Tejashwi Yadav after the latter was booked by agencies for holding benami properties.
