Misappropriation of tax payer money

Modi alleges misappropriation of Rs 50,000 crore by UPA 

Pune (PTI): Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday night alleged that a CAG report has found a huge sum of Rs 50,000 crore unaccounted for and "missing" from the 'Central government coffers'.

"The country wants to know from Prime Minster Manmohan Singh about this money that has simply vanished," Mr.Modi, who launched the election campaign of BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in Maharashtra from the city, said.

Training guns on Singh, Mr.Modi said the country should know whether the huge sum of "missing" money purportedly mentioned in the CAG report was being used for "election purposes" by the ruling party or handed over to some "preferred NGOs".
