Abhishek Manu Singhvi blasts Trinamool Congress on Saradha chit fund scam

KOLKATA: Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi blamed the ruling Trinamool Congress for hiding facts regarding alleged involvement of some of it's leaders in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam. He also questioned the ruling party's intention to avoid a CBI investigation into the scam.

""Why is the state government so keen to hide things for a scam of this proportion? Why are they not prepared to leave criminality to an agency like the CBI,"" Singhvi asked while talking to media persons here.

Singhvi also dubbed the Trinamool Congress (TMC) as 'Trinamool Model Cheat',and came down heavily on the ruling party for not initiating any action against tainted party workers who were reportedly involved in the corruption.

""The chief actors on this part are those which belong to the Trinamool. So when they try to protect...they are desperately trying to protect their own. And you know the names. There are MPs from the Trinamool, contesting candidates, political leaders from the state...all are

involved.

""What is the use of talking about simplicity, cleanliness, when you don't have the moral and political courage to act against your own people, who have defrauded the poor people of the state about whom you Shed crocodile tears every day?""the Congress spokesperson asked.
