Attacking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the wake of 2G spectrum and other scams, BJP leader Rajnath Singh has said that he should step down on “moral grounds”.
“Manmohan Singh has no moral right to stay in power and must step down in the interest of the country,” the Ghaziabad MP said here.
BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad had yesterday also accused the Prime Minister of being a “silent spectator” when former Telecom Minister A Raja flouted his directives for ensuring fairness and transparency in the allocation of the 2G spectrum.

Addressing a public rally here last evening, Singh also slammed Mayawati government for the “deteriorating” law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.
“To give a clean chit to ‘criminal’ ministers and MLAs is an indication to support them and is a way to pollute politics which badly affects law and order situation in the state,” the former BJP president said.
No one is safe in UP and the BSP leader who claims to be a Dalit has failed miserably in safeguarding Dalit women, Mr. Singh alleged.
