Former prime minister Dr.Manmohan Singh said BJP government cannot equal economic growth achieved during UPA's 10 year average, saying the Centre has to register 10.6 percent growth in the fifth year to match the previous regime. Manmohan Singh said, "I would be happy if it were to happen but I frankly do not think it will." He also alleged that BJP government has not acted against corruption. He said "Whoever faced corruption allegations during UPA was dealt with strictly, but the same cannot be said about BJP, they have not acted on corruption in their rule,".
