Jairam Ramesh, a Congress MP, has criticised the BJP for the actions of the CBI, ED, and IT. Congressman Jairam Ramesh remarked, “Do we have I-T, ED or CBI in our hands? Are we allocating big contracts? They (the govt) have given immense power to these agencies.”
Commitment to Democratic Review
He added, “We are not in power but when we are, we will review everything, democratically and by indulging parliamentary committees. We will fight corruption with honesty, as our intentions are good.”
Acknowledgment of Supreme Court’s Action
In response to the Election Commission’s notice from the Supreme Court, he states,”Supreme Court has taken a positive step. However, we have been demanding time for the last 10 months, but they (ECI) have denied this. We just want to put our demands, rest is their right to either work on it or not. We want 100% VVPAT. I think on the Court’s notice, ECI should resolve this issue before April 19 and not after June 4.”
