: Union Minister for Home Rajnath Singh on Friday questioned the silence of Left leaders in the AgustaWestland chopper scam.
Addressing an election rally at Attingal here, he accused the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government of all-round corruption across ‘air, water, and land.’
“During the UPA regime, we came across so many scams, right from 2G to sugar and helicopter scams. But during BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure or during the past two years of the Modi government, no one could accuse any of the Ministers of corruption. Only the NDA can provide corruption-free governance. In the Agusta Westland scam, even an Italian court had said there was massive corruption. Our government will expose and punish those responsible for this. I want to ask the Left leaders why they are silent on this issue,” said Mr. Singh.
He said the people of Kerala have been wishing for an escape route from both the LDF and UDF fronts. But they did not have an alternative.
Now, for the first time, even political analysts are acknowledging that the BJP-led NDA had emerged as a third political force in Kerala.
