I will quit public life if graft charges proved: PM

Rejecting Team Anna's allegations of corruption against him, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declared he will quit public life if the charges on coal block allotments are proved. "It is unfortunate that irresponsible allegations relating to irregularities in allocation of coal blocks are being made without confirming facts. "I will give up my public life if allegations are proved against me. My long public career as Finance Minister, as Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and now as Prime Minister has been an open book," Dr Singh told reporters on his way back from Myanmar.
"If there is any iota of truth, I will give up my public life. At the same time, the public should make up its mind whether this kind of politics will rule the roost in India," Dr Singh said.
This is Prime Minister's first reaction to Team Anna members Prashant and Shanti Bhushan's allegations last week accusing him of corruption for the first time when they referred to a draft CAG report on allocation blocks when he held charge of Coal ministry. He also termed as "unfortunate and irresponsible" the corruption allegations levelled against him and 14 of his ministerial colleagues by Team Anna.

Every citizen in the Nation knows that Manmohan is the cleanest PM we had since Independence. What amazes citizens is how under his watch scumbags rule the roost. Public money is swindled by one an all- politicians and bureaucrats. The Redeeming Factor is that there is a small percentage of Politicians and Bureaucrats who are Patriots and hence the country is just managing to survive in the world polity as a democracy. Just watch how State Governments and its machinery loot the treasury.
