"Sharad Pawar Has Spoken": Congress On Maharashtra Corruption Allegations

Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi raised the issue of graft charges against Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to accuse the BJP of hypocrisy and questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the mater.

The Congress today said it would not be fair on its part to comment on the controversy that erupted after ex-Mumbai police chief Param Bir Singh accused Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh of graft as the NCP and the chief minister are looking into it. Steering clear of making a direct comment on the matter, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the issue concerns Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and the NCP as the minister in question is from that party. Mr Singhvi raised the issue of graft charges against Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to accuse the BJP of hypocrisy and questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the mater. He asked why the prime minister and Home Minister Amit Shah have not uttered a word about the corruption allegation against Mr Yediyurappa, even when there have been three judgments from the high court in this regard.
