Jaipur, May 28: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot today condemned Team Anna for levelling “baseless” corruption allegations on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Union ministers.
“It is very unfortunate that Team Anna is targeting the Prime Minister and the Union ministers. The Prime Minister is known for his honesty, dedication and integrity. Accusing him of corruption is highly condemnable,” Gehlot told reporters.
The baseless allegations are very unfortunate, the chief minister said.
On Saturday, Team Anna had clubbed the Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee with 13 other Cabinet Ministers, whom they accused of corruption.
Besides Singh and Mukherjee, the ministers against whom Team Anna has demanded probe by an independent Special Investigation Team include P Chidambaram, Sharad Pawar, S M Krishna, Kamal Nath, S M Krishna, Praful Patel, Vilasrao Deshmukh, Virbhadra Singh, Kapil Sibal, Salman Khurshid, G K Vasan, Farooq Abdullah, M Alagiri and Sushil Kumar Shinde.
