New Delhi: Former Union Minister Ram Jethmalani has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of committing a 'fraud' on the people of India on the promise of bringing back black money.
Modi, Jethmalani said, pledged during electioneering to bring back the black money which would benefit every citizen but he has so far not kept his word.
"Modi is guilty of playing a fraud on Indian people on the issue of getting the black money," he said.
The German government obtained 1,400 names of bank account holders in Switzerland, many of them were Indians, and unconditionally offered to share these with the Indian government.

"Modi has met the German Chancellor twice, so I asked if he has got the names. No answer," Jethmalani said.
He maintained he is pursuing the matter in the Supreme Court of India.
The expelled BJP lawmaker also lashed out at the government over One Rank One Pension (OROP) issue.
Accusing Modi of 'letting down' officers and men of the armed forces on the issue, Jethmalani said the promise of OROP for officers and men of the armed forces was only a loud pledge.
