Puducherry Assembly Elections 2021 | Prove corruption charges or tender apology, former CM tells Amit Shah

The Hindu  

Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader V. Narayanasamy on Sunday reiterated his challenge to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to either prove corruption charges levelled against him at an election rally in Karaikal or tender a public apology. Addressing a press conference at the Puducherry PCC office, Mr. Narayanasamy said Mr. Shah had levelled wholly baseless accusations that he had given “cut money” to the Gandhi family from the ₹ 15,000 crore Central funds allocated for the Union Territory while addressing a rally on February 28. Mr. Narayanasamy said it was ironical that the BJP, “which came to power on a pack of lies” and believed that “a lie repeated constantly would become truth” had the other day brought out what they called a chargesheet against him and the government he had headed. Stating that the people in Puducherry would never elect a party that exploits communal sentiments, Mr. Narayanasamy said the Secular Democratic Progressive Alliance would return to power in the April 6 elections.
