Claim
The previous (UPA) era saw scams like 2G spectrum, Coalgate, Commonwealth Games, AgustaWestland VVIP helicopter and Devas-ISRO, whereas 12 years of the Modi government have passed without a single scam.
“2जी स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाला, कोलगेट घोटाला, कोयला ब्लॉक आवंटन घोटाला, राष्ट्रमंडल खेल घोटाला, ऑगस्टा वीवीआईपी हेलीकॉप्टर घोटाला, देवास इसरो घोटाला जैसे घोटाले किए और अब 12 साल बिना किसी घोटाले के बीत चुके हैं। यही वास्तविकता है। ये तथ्य हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The UPA-era scam list (2G, Coalgate, CWG, AgustaWestland, Devas-ISRO) is accurate, but the central assertion that Modi's 12 years passed 'without a single scam' is contradicted: the Supreme Court declared the electoral bonds scheme unconstitutional (Feb 2024), and Rafale and Pegasus were major corruption controversies. By the same 'allegation = scam' standard the claim applies to the UPA (whose 2G accused were in fact acquitted in 2017), the no-scam assertion is false.
