Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin on Wednesday tore into Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “failure to keep the poll promises” and said the electoral bond scheme was the Himalayan corruption, the biggest scam not only in India but also in the world.
Addressing a public meeting near here to seek votes for INDIA bloc candidates B. Manickam Tagore (Virudhunagar) and Rani Shrikumar (Tenkasi), Mr. Stalin quoted the statement made by Parakala Prabhakar, husband of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Mr. Prabhakar had said in an interview that the electoral bond scheme was the biggest scam in the world. The BJP, which was involved in unprecedented corruption, was using Central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate, the Income Tax Department, and the Central Bureau of Investigation to cover it up. By making autonomous institutions its political partners, the BJP government had caused a doubt whether the country was being run in accordance with the Constitution.
