We have only resumed proceeding on scams that were put in cold storage: PM Modi
New Delhi, Apr 9 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said his government had only brought out cases that had been sent to the cold storage during the UPA rule.
In an interview with News18 Network, Modi spoke on Income Tax raids on the aides of Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath. The National Herald and fodder scams happened during the Congress rule, he said.
"Bhrasht (corrupt) Nath could say anything, but it doesn’t matter. Action needs to be taken on scams and corruption,” the PM said.
On Sunday, the Income Tax department had raided properties of Nath's aides in Delhi, Bhopal, Indore and Goa.
“As the BJP saw an imminent defeat in Lok Sabha polls, it has resorted to such acts to intimidate others which they have been doing in last five years. They had used these gimmicks in last assembly polls as well,” Nath had said.
