PM presiding over “an empire of corruption”: BJP

New Delhi, February 08: In the wake of controversy over S-band spectrum allocation, BJP today accused Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of presiding over “an empire of corruption” and sought his clarification on nine questions regarding the award of the precious resource.

BJP alleged that the allocation of 70 MHz of S-Band spectrum to Devas Multimedia by ISRO’s ANTRIX was another “mega scam” after corruption in Commonwealth Games, 2-G Spectrum, CVC appointment and Adarsh Housing Society.

“It is self evident that Manmohan Singh presides over an empire of corruption and scams causing heavy loss to public money, its image being one of the most corrupt administration since independence and yet it is claimed that he is Mr Clean,” BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
