Anna attacks Modi govt on black money issue

By The Assam Tribune

RALEGAN SIDDHI (MAHA), Jan 28 � Anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare today attacked the Narendra Modi government for its �failure� to bring back black money stashed in tax havens abroad and said people will teach it a lesson for the �fraud� perpetrated on them, reports PTI.

The 77-year-old Gandhian also refused to be drawn into the subject of political slugfest going on between his two former proteges � Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal and BJP�s Kiran Bedi � in the Delhi Assembly elections.

�People were promised during the Lok Sabha elections that black money will be brought back within 100 days (of BJP forming its government), that Rs 15 lakh will be deposited in the accounts of every citizen, but not even Rs 15 have come.

�People have become aware now of the fraud perpetrated on them. They will teach a lesson (to the BJP-led government) the way they taught one to Congress. The masses have awakened after the 2011 movement against corruption,� he told NDTV in an interview.
