New Delhi: "I have never indulged in political vendetta nor will I do it in the future," Prime Minister Narendra Modi told CNN-News18 in an exclusive interview, emphatically rejecting allegations of his political rivals that some of the investigations launched by the government were motivated by political considerations.
"History bears witness to the fact that I have never opened any file due to political considerations. I have never been accused of this either. It has been over two years here (at the Centre) too. The government has given no instruction to open any file. The law will take its own course," he said, in response to a question on whether the government would crack down political dynasties.
"I have no right to indulge in any cover up. You saying that we haven’t spared any dynasty isn't correct," he said.
On Thursday, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi had alleged that PM Modi was playing what he called politics of vendetta. The Aam Aadmi Party-run government in Delhi has also accused the centre of pursuing vindictive politics.
The full interview will be broadcast on CNN-News18 at 9 PM on Friday.
