In a strong reaction to the arrest of Amar Singh, CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta on Tuesday said ‘the right man is in the right place’ and it was an ‘eloquent testimony’ to how the government was protecting ‘criminals’.
"Since the cash-for-vote scam has gone to benefit the Congress, the Prime Minister, as the leader of the government, should clarify whose frontman Amar Singh was. He could not have acted on his own," Dasgupta told reporters here.
He said the former SP general secretary's arrest was an "eloquent testimony of how the Government was protecting criminals. The man, who was given 'Z' category security by this government, has had to go to jail. The right man is in the right place."
Singh was denied bail by a Delhi court on Monday and remanded in judicial custody till September 19. Two former BJP MPs Faggan Kulaste and Mahavir Bhagora were also arrested and sent to judicial custody in cash-for-vote case.
