Rulers and 'Maharajas' should display greater probity: Jaitley

New Delhi: Hitting back at Amarinder Singh, BJP leader Arun Jaitley today used the Improvement Trust scam charge sheet against him and said rulers and ‘Maharajas' should display greater probity and transparency in public life.“Everyone

“The charge sheet does not make out a reading which may flatter anyone.

The charge sheet states that the then CM kept the vigilance report in his custody without taking any action and did not hand over the original report to the authorities after demitting his office.

So much for the Congress party's commitment to probity,” Jaitley said.

The BJP leader who is back in the holy city for his campaign said he is faced with “arrogant” comments each day from his opponent and has thus started reading up on Singh's performance and achievements.

“I went through the details of a charge sheet filed by the Vigilance Bureau in relation to a 2005 project in the city of Ludhiana where all rules were flouted by the then government,” he said.
