New Delhi, Apr 4: The recent comments made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a CBI event on the issue of corruption have drawn a response from Congress leader Kapil Sibal. While speaking to the media, Sibal highlighted that the conviction rate for corrupt officials was actually higher during the UPA era than it has been under the current government.
Sibal argued that the Modi government’s rhetoric on corruption has not translated into effective action, pointing to the lack of convictions in high-profile cases like the Rafale deal and the Vijay Mallya extradition. He also raised concerns about the independence of institutions like the CBI and the ED, which have faced allegations of being politicized.
The Congress leader’s comments come in the midst of a charged political atmosphere, with the upcoming assembly elections in several states and the ongoing farmers’ protest adding to the already contentious atmosphere in Indian politics. It remains to be seen how these comments will be received by the public and whether they will have any impact on the political landscape in the country.
