Cag Report On 2g Scam

For the second consecutive day during his visit to Kolkata, Vinod Rai, former Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India whose report in 2010 pegged notional loss of Rs. 1.76 lakh crore to the national exchequer due to 2G spectrum allocation in 2008, refused to answer questions on the court's dismissal of the scam as non-existent and former tel...

Former telecom minister and DMK leader A Raja has challenged Vinod Rai, ex government auditor, to a debate on the allocation of 2G spectrum, billed as one of India's biggest corruption scams. Mr Raja was acquitted in the case by a trial court last month.

Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is sticking to his famous silence regarding former national auditor Vinod Rai's remarks on him over 2G scam and Coalgate. Asked about Mr Rai's criticism, Dr Singh today said, "I don't want to comment on what other people say".

The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, Vinod Rai, who retires tomorrow, dismissed charges that he was behind the leak of controversial audit reports on 2G spectrum and coal block allocations.

Former Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) official RP Singh today claimed he was directed by his superiors - through a "written order" - to sign on the final 2G spectrum audit report that put the presumptive loss from the allocations at Rs 1.76 lakh crore.

The UPA government is likely to agree to a discussion in Parliament over a former CAG official charge that BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi had called audit officials to his house for preparation of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on 2G scam that indicted the government.

Senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi was today in the eye of a storm after a former CAG official accused him of calling audit officials to his home for preparation of the PAC report on 2G scam that indicted the government.

Former auditor RP Singh's claims that he never put the Rs 1.76 lakh crore loss figure in national auditor CAG's report on the 2G scam have finally given the government a chance to go on the offensive. After a meeting of the Congress core group today, Sonia Gandhi remarked that she thought the BJP has been "exposed".

The government's auditor has refuted allegations that BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi tried to influence its report on the telecom scam. In July last year, Mr Joshi who heads the Public Accounts Committee in Parliament, allegedly phoned the auditors and asked them to complete their report in time for the Monsoon Session of Parliament.

How much exactly did the telecom scam, allegedly constructed by A Raja, cost India? The price tag has, in the last few days, taken top billing at two different parliamentary committees that are investigating the swindle to assign accountability.

The telecom scam is being studied by the Parliamentary Accounts Committee (PAC) which is headed by BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi. A letter dated July 13, 2010 states that when the auditors were working on their report, Mr Joshi called the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).

The price tag of 1.76 lakh crores placed on the telecom scam by the government's auditors is what gave the swindle superstar status. Whether that estimate was correct is now being debated by two parliamentary committees. The man who actually conducted the audit - R P Singh - has said that in his opinion, the scam cost a more modest 2600 crores, but...

The man who handled the main audit for the telecom scam has said that he sticks to the stand he has taken all along - that the losses from the scam cannot be quantified, and that he was coerced to sign on a report that declared the losses to be worth 1.76 lakh crores.

Amid doubts that there are deep divisions within the government's top auditing agency over its report on the 2G scam, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India Vinod Rai and former Director General, Audit, RP Singh will today depose before the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).

In what could further strengthen doubts of a deep division within the government's top auditing agency over its report on the 2G spectrum scam, NDTV has learnt that the man who conducted the audit, R P Singh, could have been coerced into signing the final report.
