Former Telecom Minister A Raja, who spent 15 months in jail, is ready to go public his version of one of India's biggest corruption scandals. The 53-year-old's account of the scam that forced his resignation has been been cleared by leaders of his party, the DMK, and is now being finalised by his publishers for release in November. Mr Raja's memoir, "In My Defense," pushes his claim that he was made the fall guy for decisions that were sanctioned by then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and policies that he insists were collectively shaped by top ministers like P Chidambaram and Pranab Mukherjee as India turned into one of the world's largest markets of cellphone services because of the low cost to customers.
