New Delhi, July 9
Questioning Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's commitment to fight corruption, Congress leader Rahul
Gandhi on Thursday accused him of shielding Chief Ministers Vasundhara
Raje of Rajasthan and Shivraj Singh Chouhan of Madhya Pradesh.
Reminding
Modi of his election pledge "na khaoonga, na khane doonga" (Will
neither indulge in corruption nor permit corruption), Gandhi said: "Why
is the prime minister backing leaders in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh?
"Why
is the PM allowing corruption in Rajasthan? When is he bringing back
Lalit Modi?" Gandhi asked, referring to the former IPL chief who has
been accused of financial impropriety and is outside the country.

Congress demand for Chouhan's resignation over the recruitment scam in
Madhya Pradesh.
