Overview
- Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Monday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of turning his 2014 promise of clean government into a pattern of 'minimum governance, maximum cover‑ups'.
- Ramesh tied older controversies such as the Rafale deal, the scrapped electoral bonds scheme and questions about the Adani relationship to newer claims including the alleged GSPC‑ONGC cover‑up and opaque relief funds like PM CARES.
- Active probes now highlighted by the party include arrests by a Special Investigation Team over alleged Ram Mandir donation irregularities and a Supreme Court order on April 6 directing the CBI to begin a preliminary inquiry into contracts linked to Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu with a 16‑week status report due.
- The Congress also renewed pressure over exam integrity after the NEET‑UG paper‑leak controversy left accused in extended custody, and it demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the handling of major competitive exams.
- The BJP rejected the charges and said it has acted against corruption, while the opposition plans to press these linked allegations in parliament and watch the CBI and court reports for developments that could shape political and legal outcomes.
