Patna: RJD national vice-president Raghuvansh Prasad Singh took potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that the way Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Vijya Mallya have fled the country, the day is not far when Narendra Modi will also flee taking all the money from the country.
Raghuvansh said this while interacting with the media in the party office and accused the PM of giving shelter to absconders taking away huge money from Indian banks.
"Very soon, the banks of India will face huge financial losses because people like Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya have fled with public money. So far, we have heard bail-out but there is a situation of bail-in to rescue the banks," Raghuvansh said.
He added: "In that situation, the common man will face problem to withdraw their hard-earned money from the banks because they also will not have money. I am afraid that the day is not far when Narendra Modi will also run away taking our money."
The former Union minister attacked Narendra Modi, saying Nirav took away Rs 11,400 crore from under his nose and now the Centre is pretending to keep close watch on him. Raghuvansh claimed that nothing is going to happen in the case of Nirav Modi as in the others who have fled the country.
Taking the name of Nirav, Raghuvansh reminded the PM's promise asking him what happened to " Na khaunga na khane dunga (Modiji promised that neither he would indulge in corruption nor would he allow others to do so)
"Narendra Modi is fooling the people of the country because so far no action has been taken against people absconding in the past. In the similar case, the Narendra Modi government does not want to present the truth in the Rafale deal case. In the regime of Mammohan Singh, the deal was closed for $600 crore and now it has gone to $1,500 crore for the same. There is rampant corruption in the Modi government," Raghuvansh said.
He did not spare chief minister Nitish Kumar as well and said soon the RJD will launch a statewide campaign exposing rampant corruption in the Nitish government.
