Raja alleges 1.6 Lakh Crore scam during NDA rule.

“The NDA Government is responsible for irrational decisions without any legal backing. The scam during the NDA regime could be much more than Rs 1.6 lakh crore.” Mr Raja facing allegations, of a Rs 60,000-crore spectrum scam, from the BJP said that he will not resign. “Ours is a Governmentthat has followed all rules to the letter and spirit by following the regulations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India,” he said.

1. Obviously there is no story behind it.

2. Raja forgets that the DMK was also part of the NDA government.

3. Were there any letter pad companies that made windfall ?

4. Even if there was a scam, let us finish this investigation first and then get on to the next one.

5. Note the “Ours is a government…” quote.  This is a clear signal that the Congress cant wiggle out and pin blame on Raja alone.  Sachin Pilot in on stage and would agree.

This CBI case is dead on arrival. The people of India have lost 60K Cr because their property (airwaves) has been stolen. The only way for this story to make more headway is for the media to latch on to this. In the 90’s the media would stay put on corruption stories and that was in no small way for the downfall of the Congress. What happened “post liberalization” ?
