Less than a month after he used to be acquitted by a Delhi court docket in the 2G spectrum allocation case, former union telecom minister A Raja has bared all in a brand new ebook '2G Saga Unfolds', extracts of that have been made available completely to TOI's Sagarika Ghose .
A RAJA ON FORMER CAG VINOD RAI:
He had the temerity to dub himself the `Nation's Conscience Keeper ... his phrases and movements are:
Malicious vigilantism that makes a mockery of his constitutional obligations
Disgraceful purchase of self promotion at the price of fact and Integrity
Wanton sacrifice of national growth ... corrupt commercialism couched in ethical rhetoric ... experiences of auditors like Shriman Vinod Rai are mere trash ..are compatible for the dutbin.
It is my rivalry that the sanctity of the CAG used to be severely compromised by its then head Mr Vinod Rai. Mr Rai clearly had ulterior motives in overreaching the bounds of his constitutional function. He tried to foist his non-public (or influenced) agenda by sensationalising knowledge and creating the semblance of procedural lapses and fiscal misappropriation.
A RAJA ON SUNIL BHARTI MITTAL
Karthi Chidambaram who is an acquaintance known as me up at some point in the course of September 2007 and advised me that his friend Sunil Mittal (of Airtel) urgently sought after to speak with me that very day...(Mittal) boasted of his position of affect in the telecom sector as also his non-public political clout. He claimed the COAI used to be used for terribly cordial family members with all my predecessors in the ministry and he anticipated "similar co-operation" from me...
I admired the confidence-even although it had sunglasses of boastful conceit -of Mr Sunil Mittal who almost certainly believed that the Telecom Sector's governing our bodies had been obliged to pander to an trade player of his stature..At no point had been they (COAI) prepared to concede anything else or cut back their calls for. This sort of bullying to try to control the workings of the federal government used to be not acceptable to me.
A stealthy ploy have been degree managed in the Telecom Ministry to obfuscate the availability of spectrum and to collect the scattered spectrum best when the time got here to assign additional spectrum and increase the monopoly of the existing service suppliers.
A RAJA ON MANMOHAN SINGH
The way the Prime Minister performed himself certainly not constituted any administrative lapses or prison acts. In truth the PM used to be disturbed once I defined to him the exploitation by the cartel in the telecom sector. He sought after the hidden spectrum to be made available for public use...my anguish is that the Government headed by him did not again him up..I've witnessed the colossal highbrow and ethical stature he has accomplished...I do not know why he could not muster the get to the bottom of although fact used to be on his facet to stand against the verbal abuses of the opposition, unwarranted grievance of the 2G Bench and the staged outbursts of the biased media.
A RAJA ON FORMER SOLICITOR GENERAL GE VAHANVATI
He clasped my fingers and said, "Please understand my position. Media goes on with whatever they like. I do not have enough support from the government too. What can I do?" I felt sorry.
A RAJA ON P Chidambaram
P Chidambaram's stand on the 2G case continues to be a puzzle to me. He is an administrator of robust acumen, an in a position lawyer and a seasoned parliamentarian. Yet I used to be shocked to peer him shying clear of discussing the 2G scenario with me or even warding off chatting with me when we came about to pass every different in the airport...Chidambaram's silence and his warding off me put me on a warning about what could be coming down the street. I sensed that a resolution to put me in the back of bars have been taken to salvage the Government's symbol. I used to be making ready myself each mentally and physically for jail life. I turned into vegetarian and began exercising twice day-to-day.
A RAJA ON UPA 2
It is my conviction consequent to the entire enjoy of the trial that there used to be political motivation to kill UPA-II and Rai's used to be the shoulder on which the gun used to be positioned. It is certainly unhappy that despite having such a lot of intelligence agencies and eminent prison minds at its disposal the UPA-II government could not sense this and best tried to make use of me as a protect but had been nonetheless not able to flee the bullets.
