31. Why is the BJP demanding that the PM must resign?

The PM himself held the portfolio for the Coal Ministry during the relevant period. A Raja
and Dayanidhi Maran rightly resigned their Ministerial positions once the CBI's investigation of

2G began. Unfortunately, the same standards don't seem to apply to the Prime Minister. As
Shri Arun Jaitley has said, "the Prime Minister's office is a sacred institution in Indian democracy.
It must be judged on standards higher and harsher than those that would apply to other
ministers." Instead of being an icon of unimpeachable honesty, the Prime Minister has continued
oversee scam after scam under his governance. This time, it was Dr Manmohan Singh himself
who was responsible. There is no one else to pass on the blame. The PM must assume
responsibility.
