Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Saturday slammed the Prime
Minister's silence on major banking scams unearthed in the country over
the last few days and termed Narendra Modi the "most expensive
chowkidar" in the world.
"Modiji used to give a statement
everyday against the Congress when a (2G) scam worth Rs 1.76 lakh crore
was alleged during the UPA regime.
"That was a presumptive loss. Later, the court said there was no scam at all," Sibal said while briefing the media here.
Referring
to the banking frauds by diamond jeweller Nirav Modi (worth Rs 11,300
crore) and others (Rotomac loan default worth over Rs 3,000 crore) as
"actual" losses, Sibal said: "Why is he (Prime Minister) silent now?"
Modi
spoke about the bank fraud for the first time on Friday at the ET
Global Business Summit saying government would take "stern action"
against irregulaties.
"He (Narendra Modi) gets a house, a plane; he is the most expensive watchman in the world," he added.
The
former Union Minister said that the Prime Minister should explain why
these scamsters "gained" while the nation faced losses under his watch.
"Several leaders in the Bharatiya Janata Party have connections with these scamsters, who have left the country," he said.
