The Congress party has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of responsibility for a CBI inquiry into alleged irregularities involving the chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh.
New Delhi – The Indian National Congress has publicly targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, linking his administration to a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe concerning alleged irregularities linked to the chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh. The party framed the inquiry as evidence of lapses in governance at the centre, urging the prime minister to intervene and ensure a transparent investigation.
Congress leaders said the CBI’s involvement underscores the seriousness of the allegations, though specific details of the irregularities have not been disclosed. They called for an independent review and demanded that the central government uphold accountability in the northeastern state.
The central government has not yet responded to the Congress’s statements. The CBI, a federal investigative agency, confirmed that it is examining the matter but declined to comment on the progress or the nature of the allegations.
Political analysts note that the issue could become a flashpoint in the upcoming electoral cycle, especially in the context of the Congress’s strategy to challenge the ruling party on governance and integrity.
The development adds to the growing political discourse surrounding the administration’s handling of state-level investigations, with both parties awaiting further clarification from the CBI.
