More trouble for Raja in telecom scam
There was more trouble for Union Telecom Minister A Raja on Sunday who is facing allegations in the massive spectrum scam.
Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation Ashwini Kumar visited Chennai causing quite a flutter. While he himself sought to play down his trip, political circles attached much significance to it coming as it did in the wake of the ongoing CBI raids.
Raja too was in Chennai on Sunday and he iterated that the spectrum allocation was as per norms.
The Union government is said to have suffered losses of between Rs 25,000 crore and Rs 60,000 crore in the scam.
The DMK has officially not reacted to the CBI raids but the party supremo M Karunanidhi is believed to have conveyed his resentment to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The prime minister on Sunday refused to be drawn out on the scam.
