Kolkata: Veteran BJP leader L K Advani
today attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over corruption in the UPA government, saying the country was facing `unprecedented misery` under his rule.
"During his tenure the country faced unprecedented misery," Advani told an election meeting at Burrabazar in the
central business district here.
"Starting from buying off MPs to winning the
confidence motion in 2008, they have got involved in the 2G
spectrum scam, CWG scam and many others," he said.
"The country has lost Rs 1.72 lakh crore in the 2G
spectrum scam alone according to the CAG and every day a new
scam is tumbling out of their cupboard," he said.
"I have seen all governments since 1952 in my
political career. "I used to respect Manmohan Singh a lot when
he became the Prime Minister. He was not a politician," Advani
said.
Stating that the Congress had denied buying off MPs
despite the BJP having produced Rs one crore in Parliament as
proof, he said the US cables leaked by Wikileaks had shown
that his party was right.
