Senior BJP leader L K Advani today attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for asking the Cabinet Secretary to look into the issue of telephone tapping, saying he seemed to be more concerned about the leakage than the credibility of his government on the issue of corruption.
"He (Prime Minister Manomhan Singh) is worried about that (leakage). What is the aspect of concern? Common man's concern is about the credibility of the government. There should be concern about this but that is not there," Advani remarked at an NDA press conference here.
Advani was referring to Singh asking Cabinet Secretary K M Chandrasekhar earlier in the day to look into the issue of telephone tapping.
"Are these matters about which the PM should be worried? I don't understand," he said.
Referring to the controversy, Advani said the nation had witnessed how business lobbyists play a role in government formation.
"It appeared that UPA government is not formed by the Prime Minister and, for long, we were under the wrong impression that it is not the PM but 10 Janpath (Congress President) which forms the Cabinet. But now, it has come forward that its neither the Congress president nor the PM who forms the government", Advani said.
Pointing a finger at corporate lobbyists, the BJP leader said the tapes reveal that confidence with which they claim who should be allotted what portfolio.
He said the Prime Minister might not be aware of several things going on in his government.
Advani said during the stalemate in the winter session of Parliament, government did not give a single "credible" reason for not agreeing to JPC probe on 2G scam.
He also criticised the Prime Minister on the appointment of P J Thomas as Central Vigilance Commissioner saying he insisted on having the former telecom secretary for the top job despite Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj's objections.

Prabhu Deva Never takes about Nayanthara.
Prabhu Deva’s meeting with the press was a highly anticipated affair and it happened recently in Chennai. Though the director convened the meet for Tamil film Engeyum Kadhal, a film directed by him, the press were naturally eager to ask questions about Nayanthara.
Brushing them aside, the director only answered queries pertaining to Engeyum Kadhal. He said that most part of the shooting has been completed in France and it will be a romantic flick with the locations adding its touch of romance.
Prabhu, on how he manages to excel in different aspects of cinema such as acting, direction and choreography, said that he never seeks anything but take things as it comes.
Pak media publish 'fake leaks' about India
Pakistani media has published fake WikiLeaks cables attacking India.
The media says these are part of the real cables stolen from the US diplomatic network.
The fake cables purportedly quote American diplomats as saying that India's military generals are genocidal, and that New Delhi backs militants.
These fake cables claim that the Indian government is secretly allied with Hindu fundamentalists.
Other claims include the allegation that Indian spies are covertly supporting Islamist militants in Pakistan's tribal belt and Balochistan, and senior Indian generals as vain and egotistical.
British newspaper - The Guardian - slammed these Pakistani versions as inaccurate and dangerous, after an extensive search of the WikiLeaks database failed to locate any of the incendiary allegations.
The Guardian suggested that this was the first case of WikiLeaks being exploited for propaganda purposes.
