AAP MP Sanjay Singh called for PM Narendra Modi to issue an apology to the Supreme Court following his defense of the Electoral Bond scheme, which the apex court deemed “unconstitutional and illegal.” Singh’s demand came in response to PM Modi’s recent interview with ANI, during which he accused opposition parties of spreading falsehoods about the scheme. PM Modi warned that there would be regret once there is a sincere examination of the matter.
Addressing a press conference in the national capital, the AAP leader said, “Yesterday, PM Modi gave a detailed interview. But the most shocking thing in the interview is that the Prime Minister is openly defending the biggest scam since independence. The Supreme Court called electoral bonds unconstitutional and illegal. He also insulted the Supreme Court, he should apologize to the Supreme Court and the people of the country.”
Singh said that the Prime Minister did not say anything on the issues related to inflation and unemployment.
“The Prime Minister and his government in 10 years have done nothing for the country. He did not say anything on the issues of the country including rising inflation, unemployment, Agniveer Yojana and the problem of Manipur,” the AAP leader said.
During an interview with ANI, Prime Minister Modi defended the electoral bonds scheme, emphasizing its purpose in combating black money in elections. He criticized the opposition for levying accusations and then attempting to evade responsibility. PM Modi highlighted that among the companies donating after scrutiny by investigative agencies, only 37 percent of the funds went to the BJP, with the remaining 63 percent directed to opposition parties. Expressing concern over the influence of black money in elections, PM Modi warned of future regret. This marks his first detailed response to the electoral bonds scheme amid his busy campaigning for the Lok Sabha polls. He also underscored the scheme’s success in revealing the sources of political contributions, framing it as a positive development.
