New Delhi, March 12: Firing yet another salvo at the UPA government on CVC appointment controversy and 2-G scam, senior BJP leader L K Advani today said that it is not Manmohan Singh but the office of Prime Minister that is lacking integrity and suffers from a “governance deficit”.
“In our parliamentary system of governance, the highest office that can, and that must, set the right standards is that of Prime Minister. Unfortunately, this is where India has seen the most disturbing sight of governance deficit,” Advani said at a programme at IIT, Delhi.
“It is not that Manmohan Singh himself lacks integrity.
But today nobody can deny that the office he occupies lacks integrity,” he added.
Advani, however, hit out at the Prime Minister for blaming “compulsions of coalition politics” for anomalies in 2-G spectrum allocation.
