BJP questions PM's silence over Raja, demands action

BJP questions PM's silence over Raja, demands action
New Delhi: The heat is on the Centre over the 2G spectrum allocation scam.

While the Telecom Minister, A Raja, is defiant that he has done no wrong and won't quit, there's no let up in the attack by the opposition who are demanding that he should be sacked.

The big question is will the Congress high command dump the Telecom Minister when Jayalalithaa has already offered support.

The Prime Minister last night said alliance with DMK is intact as of now and that the Congress high command will take a decision on Jayalalithaa's offer of support, however, he refused to comment on A Raja

"This is a subject which I am hearing for the first time. This is for the congress high command I think to take note of. I don't know know what Jayalalithaa has said, we are in alliance with the DMK and that alliance stands as of now," said the prime Minister.

The Opposition on Saturday hit out at the Prime Minister's continued silence.

"Unfortunately, the Prime Minister isn't saying a word about this.  Even today, when asked, he kept mum. We're asking, does his clean image also include whitewashing of such scams," questioned BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar.
