Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury on Tuesday, took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and questioned why the government hasn’t named its ‘good friends and cronies’ who have committed crores of bank fraud.
Sharing a Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) report which analyses the top 100 banking frauds, Yechury took to Twitter and said, “Several have already looted and been allowed to scoot. But farmers and the poor are pilloried and shamed for meagre amounts.”
Why is the Modi govt not naming its good friends and cronies who owe crores to the public? Several have already looted and been allowed to scoot. But farmers and the poor are pilloried and shamed for meagre amounts. #Shame #Frauds https://t.co/p8oWGyTRyK
