Ghaziabad, December 27: BJP leader Rajnath Singh today said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh cannot escape responsibility for the 2G spectrum scam and urged the UPA government to concede to the Opposition’s demand for a JPC probe into the financial irregularities.
“JPC is the only powerful committee to look into the scam. As head of the government, the Prime Minister should shoulder the responsibility of the scam and should not try to dilute BJP’s demand for a JPC in the name of PAC,” he said.
“The Congress government is known for its scams and minting money at the cost of poverty in the country,” he said.
Rajnath was on a tour of various villages in the area under the programme ‘chaupal’.
