Former CAG embarrasses Congress, says Singh can't wash his hands off the issue

September 12, 2014 07:58

Former Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai, whose tell-all book Not just an Accountant is to hit the stands soon, said that former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh could have easily prevented high-profile scandals like 2G spectrum allocation scam, coal blocks allocation scam and the Commonwealth Games scam had he shown his stamp of authority. In an interview on Times Now, Rai said had Singh been firm, the government may not have been mired in as much controversy. Rai said that he was approached by three Congress MPs - former Law minister Ashwani Kumar who had to resign for allegedly pressuring the CBI to dilute PMO's role in the Coalgate scam, Sanjay Nirupam and Sandeep Dikshit -- to drop the name of the PM from the CAG report on 2G spectrum allocation.
