On the issue of the five rupees ‘registration’ fee for Modi’s public meeting in Hyderabad,Singh said,”It is all bogus! The BJP itself will deposit the fee and later claim that so many people attended it. They are masters in manipulating things”.

Replying to a question on Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s act of sporting a skull cap on the occasion of Eid,Singh said,”Whether he wears a red cap or black,Congress has nothing to do with it. This is their job”.

The senior Congress leader also alleged that ‘rampant corruption’ took place in the implementation of the special package of Bundelkhand region (of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh) under the Backward Region Grant Fund,which was sent to the state on the initiative of Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi”.
