CPI-M slams Congress on 2G scam
Kolkata : The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) on Friday accused the Congress of condoning corruption in the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government by its inaction against Telecom Minister A Raja, allegedly responsible for the 2G scam.
The Congress was into ‘number game’ on the issue, said CPI-M Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury referring to the former’s unwillingness to challenge the DMK on the issue.
”They are always in number game like they were in the time of the Indo-US nuke deal,” said Yechury.
Demanding Raja’s ouster on the 2G Spectrum scam, he said after being indicted by the CAG, the minister should be axed without delay.
On the BJP’s demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee(JPC) to probe the graft, Yechury said, ”We do not mind a JPC and further investigation. But the Prime Minister should remove him first.”
Yechury also demanded removal of the Central Vigilance Commission chief in connection with 2 G allotment.
”He was the Telecom Secretary and dealt with 2 G Spectrum,” he said.
Yechury was in Kolkata for a programme on November Revolution.
Stalled PM awakes after notice from SC and Parliament not in function PM come out with reply and with Sonia Gandhi accepting the threat of Corruption Monster. Most of the Govt job from Watch Man to Politician, from joining to promotion till transfer has a price tag to open their shop of corruption. What kind of Democracy Citizens enjoying when they could only vote, but cannot prosecute the corrupts? PM busy showing dreams of 9% growth cannot figure if 8.99% is gulped by corrupts. After the failed attempt to save tainted politicians and Officials on 2G, Adarsh and CWG, UPA’s spokes persons and politicians tries to show the OBLIGATION to the country sacking them, and behind it tries to hide the attempts made on clean chits with no action on culprits till now with blame game to confuse the matter while still their economists cannot match the figures from 2G to CWG. Honesty and Integrity would only be counted if accepts the mistakes of habit on sitting on important files of 2G, like Dixit was sitting on Afzal Guru’s files for years with no reply. Would this all habits repeat the history? Raj Narayan to Indira Gandhi, to impeach PM or suspension of Govt on failure, from SC?
