The Prime Minister also said that the victims of the chit fund scam in Bengal want to know why the West Bengal Chief Minister is " so afraid" of the investigation into the chit fund scam.

" I want to assure all the families who fell victim to the Saradha, Narada, Rose Valley scam that this Chowkidar will not spare those who are involved in this," said Modi.
