PM Modi is acting Tough on Corrupt Politicians

              Modi Government Arrests Politicians on Corruption Charges

                


         



The Modi government has been cracking down on corruption in recent years, and this has led to the arrest of a number of high-profile politicians. Some of the most notable arrests include:

  • Manish Sisodia: The deputy chief minister of Delhi was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in February 2023 in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam. He is accused of irregularities in the awarding of liquor licenses.
  • Sanjay Singh: The Rajya Sabha MP from the Aam Aadmi Party was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in October 2023 in the same case as Sisodia.
  • Anurag Thakur: The Union minister for sports and youth affairs was arrested by the CBI in 2017 in connection with the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association corruption case. He was accused of financial irregularities during his tenure as the president of the association.
  • P. Chidambaram: The former Union finance minister was arrested by the CBI in 2019 in connection with the INX Media case. He is accused of granting undue favors to the company in exchange for kickbacks.
  • Shashi Tharoor: The Congress MP was arrested by the CBI in 2017 in connection with the Sunanda Pushkar death case. He was accused of abetting the suicide of his wife.

The Modi government has defended the arrests of these politicians, saying that they are necessary to fight corruption and ensure that everyone is treated equally under the law. However, critics have accused the government of using the CBI and ED to target its political opponents.

The arrest of Manish Sisodia, in particular, has sparked a political firestorm. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the BJP of targeting Sisodia because he is a popular leader and a potential challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The BJP has denied these allegations, saying that the arrests are being made on the basis of evidence. However, the timing of the arrests, so close to the 2024 elections, has raised suspicions among many observers.

It remains to be seen whether the Modi government's crackdown on corruption will be successful in reducing the level of corruption in India. However, the arrests of these high-profile politicians have certainly sent a strong message that no one is above the law.
