The comments made by former CAG Vinod Rai against the previous UPA government and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has led to a barrage of political reactions. While Congress, which led the UPA government, has criticised Mr Rai, other parties are demanding answers from Dr Singh.
The former PM was in office but not in power. He cannot claim ignorance now. He allowed corruption on his watch.
Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister
The report was made public in 2010 and he became a member of the Public Accounts Committee after that, so how can we influence a report I cannot understand.
Sandeep Dikshit, Congress Leader
They just want to politicize the issue. This whole issue is in the public domain
TKS Elangovan, Organisation Secretary, DMK
'Why did Rai keep quiet when he was in office?'
Digvijay Singh,Senior Congress leade
Saying this after 4 and a half years. This is an excellent marketing technique . Why wasn't all this said earlier?
Manish Tewari, Congress leader
I had a doubt that is why I wrote a letter to the pm. The PM did not know the gravity of the matter. Now it is in courts and a decision will be made. It wasn't a confidential letter.
Kamal Nath, Former Union Minister
