He should resign on moral grounds if even an iota of morality is left in him,” he said. Singh was questioned on Friday by CBI for the second consecutive day in connection with a case of alleged disproportionate assets against him. Satti alleged that the Congress government in the state has nothing to do with development and Singh is consuming most of his time in “shuttling between Shimla and Delhi in connection with the cases against him”.
