Guwahati, January 07: Rubbishing government’s claim of any wrongdoing in the 2G spectrum allocation, BJP today asked why was A Raja forced to quit as Telecom minister if the loss to the exchequer estimated at Rs.1.76 lakh crore was not true.
“If the entire argument is that there was no loss to the exchequer then why did Raja resign from the Government?,” asked senior leader Arun Jaitley.
“Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal’s entire argument is fallacious. He is just playing with statistics …confusing the position …(he is playing) the PAC+JPC+CBI all rolled into one…and contending that there is no loss as far as revenue is concerned “, Jaitley, who has come here to participate in the BJP National Executive meeting beginning here tomorrow, told reporters.
The Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha said that Sibal has “missed the basic point” as regards the scam.
