NEW DELHI: Former Telecom Minister Andimuthu Raja today alleged that former CAG Vinod Rai was a “contract killer” hired to kill the UPA-2 Government and called for his prosecution for “abusing” the power and “cheating” the nation.
Raja went on to say that some forces were working against the UPA-2 and for that they used Rai as a tool.
“Vinod Rai should be prosecuted for cheating and abuse of power… (he) was a contract killer… His shoulder was used to kill UPA 2,” Raja said during a media interaction following the launch of his book “2G Saga Unfolds”.
The then comptroller and auditor general (CAG) Rai came out with a report in 2010 which pegged notional loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore to the national exchequer due to 2G spectrum allocation in 2008 when Raja was the telecom minister.
“Some forces wanted to kill UPA (United Progressive Alliance) 2 for which Vinod Rai was used as the gun,” Raja said. (AGENCIES)
