On April 6, 2026, the Congress party criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi following a Supreme Court decision directing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a preliminary inquiry into contracts allegedly awarded to family members of Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh stated that Modi's pledge of 'na khaunga na khane doonga' (I will neither take bribes nor allow corruption) is a 'complete hoax' that is now being exposed. The Supreme Court has mandated the CBI to register the inquiry within two weeks and submit a status report within 16 weeks. The investigation will focus on contracts awarded for public works in Arunachal Pradesh from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2025. Allegedly, contracts worth approximately ₹1,270 crore were awarded to four firms connected to Khandu's family during this period. Ramesh suggested that this is just the beginning, indicating that other BJP chief ministers may also face scrutiny.
