Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will meet journalists on Wednesday to answer questions on the opposition's charges ahead of the Budget session of Parliament beginning next week.

According to sources, Singh will meet TV editors at his official residence. The conference will be covered Live by Doordarshan from 10.30 am.

The sources said the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) was working out the modalities of the telecast. However, it was not known whether permission had been granted to private TV channels to bring in their cameras.

The press meet comes in the wake of a number of corruption scandals and several allegations of financial irregularities, including the infamous 2G scam.

 

The  BJP had recently said that Singh "presides over an empire of corruption and scams".
