Hyderabad: The CPI on Wednesday tore into the NDA government's claims of corruption-free governance in the last two years, saying that by refusing probe on various issues, including the Lalit Modi case and Vyapam scam, the Centre was trying to sweep cases of wrongdoing under the carpet.

"We are challenging that (NDA's claim of corruption-free government). In the first year itself, on corruption issue, allegations came in Lalit Modi case on Union Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje,” it said. "Allegations are different and they being proved are different. But, it is the government which has to investigate the allegations.

By refusing (a probe), they are trying to sweep corruption under the carpet," CPI General Secretary S Sudhakar Reddy told reporters here. Why the government was not ready for a probe, if there is no corruption, he asked. On the multi-crore Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh, he said it was "unusual" that about 60 people, including witnesses, suspects and journalists, had lost their lives in connection with this case.
