Corruption rampant under BJP rule, alleges Narayana

Kandukur: CPI national Secretary K Narayana said that the current situation in the country was horrible than that prevailed during the Emergency period. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of opening a single window system for corruption and using legal system to protect the culprits.

He said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu was no longer a kingmaker and cannot speak a single word against the Union government. Narayana visited his relatives in Kandukur on Sunday and spoke to the media on various topics. 

He compared the Congress party to a grocery shop and the BJP to a wholesale dealer. He said that the Congress party ran a government on alliance and had no control over partner parties. 

But the BJP, with full majority has opened gates for a single window system for corruption, he alleged. Narayana alleged that Narendra Modi was the man behind the appointment of Urjit Patel as the chairman of Gujarat Petroleum Corporation and indulged in corruption to the tune of Rs 20,000 crore.

He then brought Urjit Patel to Reserve Bank of India as Governor and helped many corporate people to get new currency before their release to the common people. He questioned the BJP-led NDA government how the non-performing assets rose from Rs 2.2 lakh crore to Rs 8 lakh crore by 2017. 

He feared that the proposed FRDI bill would deprive depositors of their rights and help the banks to convert deposits to capital in case of losses.  The CPI national secretary also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was influencing the CBI, Election Commission and even the legal system.

Narayana demanded that the CJI and Union government should respond on the allegations made by four senior Supreme Court Judges and save faith of the common man on the legal system. Narayana said that the State-level meetings of the CPI will be convened before the nation-level conference in Kerala between April 25 and 29.
