PM Modi's Attack On Manmohan Singh: 'So Many Scams, Yet Not A Stain On Him' | Read
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today took on his predecessor, Dr Manmohan Singh, by stating that "There is not a single black mark against him despite all the corruption. Only Doctor saab knows how to bathe with a raincoat in the bathroom." The remark references the many corruption scandals that erupted in the government on Manmohan Singh's watch when the Congress-led coalition governed the country for two successive terms. Despite the swindles, the personal integrity of Dr Singh, a respected economist, is usually exempt from criticism, though the BJP has repeatedly said he cannot be exempted from blame for the swindles over the allocation of coal blocks, spectrum and telecom licenses, among others.
