Slamming Team Anna for levelling corruption charge against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanaswmay has said it has no locus standi to question Singh's integrity and had lost public trust.
Pointing out that the members of Anna Hazare's team were themselves trading charges of irregularities against each other, he said: "They have no locus standi to question the integrity of the Prime Minister."
The team had lost public trust and "People are simply not prepared to believe this group," he told reporters here last evening reacting to the Team Anna making allegations against the Prime Minister over allocation of coal blocks when the Coal Ministry was held by him.
On the steepest ever hike in petrol prices, Narayanasamy said it was "a bitter" decision.
Narayanaswamy also said the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant will start commercial production within the next 20 days.
