PALANPUR: Chief minister Narendra Modi has asked prime minister Manmohan Singh to resign after the Supreme Court on Thursday cancelled 122 2G licences granted to telecom companies during the tenure of former telecom minister A Raja.
Addressing people at his Sadbhavana Mission fast at Mandvi in Kutch district, Modi said, “Singh has no right to remain in power after Supreme Court cancelled all 122 2G licences granted during Raja’s tenure.”
He said, “It was for the first time in the history of the country that such a huge scam involving Rs 1.65 lakh crore has taken place. The prime minister can no more shirk his responsibilities and must accept the blame for the wrongdoings by his cabinet colleagues in the Congress-led UPA government.”
Later, Modi announced a Rs 2,165 crore package for Kutch for improving its infrastructure, schools, hospitals, roads, irrigation and drainage system in the next one year. Nearly 10,000 people from all nine talukas of Kutch joined Modi in his Sadbhavana Mission fast.
Meanwhile, Gujarat Congress workers too organized a parallel Satkarma fast at Mandvi.
