August 24, 2014  11:04
Former Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai has claimed that senior functionaries from the UPA government pressurised him to drop few names from the auditor's reports on Coalgate and Commonwealth Games scams, according to a report published in Times of India. "Politicians came to my home and told me not to name some people and to protect some others in connection with the CWG and coal allocation reports," he said. On the sidelines of the release of his book, 'Not Just an Accountant', he said, "The book will have details of how the ex-PM (Manmohan Singh) succumbed to what he himself once described as 'compulsions of coalition politics'. Everything cannot be sacrificed only to remain in power. Governance cannot be sacrificed at the altar of compulsion of coalition politics."
