BJP Tamil Nadu president K. Annamalai on Sunday countered Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s remarks that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had no moral right to speak about corruption in the wake of alleged irregularities in Central government projects and schemes, flagged by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India in its report.
In a statement, he said the CAG report had only mentioned cost escalations in construction of highways and not about corruption. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had said road projects in Tamil Nadu were delayed due to hurdles in procuring input materials and had requested the State government to control the price rise of the materials.
