Congress: Why did PM Modi not act against defaulters based on Rajan’s letter?

Congress said that Modi was intimated several times about the financial fraud committed by Mehul Choksi, but he looked the other way. Instead, he acted as an accomplice, alleged the Congress

Cornering the Modi government on the financial fraud committed by Mehul Choksi and Nirav Modi under the watch of PM Narendra Modi, the Congress said the PM was intimated several times about the financial fraud committed by both of them, but the PM chose to look the other way. And, instead he acted as a collaborator, alleged the Congress.

“Chaukidar bhagidar ban gaye (the watchman has became the accomplice),” said Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala at a press conference.

Referring a report prepared by former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan on NPAs, Surjewala said the former RBI governor had sent a letter to the PM informing him about some “high profile” defaulters including Mehul Choksi but the PMO did not act.
