He has also invited the prominent leaders of all the political parties who have extended support to the UPA. He said that the developments have caused many concerned citizens to worry about the state of governance and the pervasiveness of corruption. "In the past several months a conjunction of several developments relating to 2G spectrum allocation, procurement and contracting issues related to the Commonwealth Games, and similar issues in state governments have brought public focus on the issue of corruption in public life," Dr. Singh said.
