Advani targets Manmohan Singh on black money issue

Ahmedabad, Apr 27 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Prime Ministerial candidate L K Advani has targeted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the issue of black money.

Staging a road show here on Sunday, Advani said that the Congress party now admits that black money stashed in Swiss banks is a grave problem.

"The important consideration is that all Congress people refused to accept and termed it as a lie has now accepted. Suddenly, I read that the Prime Minister has said if my government comes to power then in first hundred days he would bring back into country the black money stashed in Swiss banks," said Advani.

Earlier, Advani said if voted to power, his party would bring back the Indian money stashed in the Swiss banks.

"The BJP will bring back the huge Indian wealth stashed in the Swiss bank and other tax havens abroad and the money will be put to use for the development of the country," he added.

He, however, did not indicate how he would "bring back" the money.

Advani claimed that no government could be formed in the country without the support of either the BJP or the Congress. (ANI)
