Modi has no moral right to speak about corruption: Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Sunday (August 27) slammed the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the central level, referring to the findings of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report.

Flaying the Narendra Modi government, he sought to know what moral right the Prime Minister had to speak about corruption in the wake of CAG findings.

“I want to know what moral right does the Prime Minister have to talk about corruption. The Comptroller and Auditor General Report has identified corruption in central government-run schemes,” Stalin said at the wedding of CPI leader M Selvaraj near Thiruvarur on Sunday.

“CAG operates under the Central government and it prepares a report every year on the performance of the government, it studies the income and expenditure of the government and then submits a report. That is the work of CAG. Today, the CAG says it is corrupt rule at the Centre with several irregularities in government-run schemes. We are not saying this. Not even the Opposition parties, it is the CAG which has said,” Stalin said.
