In his book 'Not Just An Accountant', then CAG Vinod Rai has written that Manmohan Singh was aware of the wrongdoings of A Raja but chose to remain silent.
In this excerpt from his book titled 'Not Just An Accountant', former CAG Vinod Rai writes about how the auditor came up with the number and its consequences.
राजनीति में तकरार चाहे जितनी भी तल्ख क्यों न हो, अपने विरोधी या पूर्ववर्ती की देशभक्ति पर सवाल नहीं उठाया जाता. उस पर खराब फैसले, रीढ़विहीनता, मतिभ्रम आदि के आरोप तो चलेंगे. मगर देशद्रोह के आरोप? कतई नहीं!
Manmohan Singh's scathing letter to Narendra Modi may not be as uncharacteristic as it seems. The usually level-headed politician has been stern with his statements many times.
It would be a disservice to the women of Hassan to look at Prajwal Revanna’s alleged abuse of power as a ‘sex scandal’. Allegations against him show what ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’ actually means.
Air India’s new policy, effective from 2 May, introduces new weight limits for tickets in each of the different 'fare families' — Comfort, Comfort Plus, and Flex.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Shri Shekhar Gupta borrows someone else’s phone while talking to a source, calls this ” basic hygiene “. The apex of government in India is remarkably well informed about what is going on in the country. Not just A Raja’s intentions but also the broad details of the financial deals that were being structured around the allotment of licences to favoured firms must have been known to the government. In fact, A Raja was so confident of his party’s torque over the coalition government, he kept writing letters and recording all that he was doing. 2. Why Dr. Singh, admittedly a nominated PM, acquiesced in financial wrong doing of this magnitude, equally so for coal blocks, gives us an insight into his character and leadership style. It is setting the bar low for the head of government to say that he did not benefit personally from such giveaways. Even on economic reforms, which secured him the job, Dr. Singh did not push back against the NAC or make any forceful attempt, along with distinguished colleagues like Mr P Chidambaram and Dr M S Ahluwalia, to create a worthwhile economic legacy for UPA. If the Congress got 44 seats, he must take his share of responsibility.
