A.Raja was following the policies of previous NDA Government-DoT told JPC(Joint parliamentary Committee)
“….A presentation by the Department of Telecom (DoT) to the JPC contains a lengthy account of the policies followed by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). ….These policies, according to the DoT, led to a loss of Rs 32,000 crore on account of the decision to move from fixed license fee regime to revenue sharing regime from August 1999….. the presentation made by the DoT secretary as well as in replies to the question from JPC members suggest that Raja's actions were a continuation of past polices…The DoT has told the JPC that it has been providing mobile permits to companies without any restrictions based on policies approved by the NDA regime. This policy was based on Trai's recommendations in October 2003 as well as the decision of the Union Cabinet in the same month, indicating that Raja was only continuing with these policies...Guidelines for the first-come-first serve policy - that is, those who applied for licenses first were placed higher in the queue - was formulated in January 2001, but it was a decision by then telecoms minister in November 2003 that reinforced this as the methodology for dishing out mobile permits and airwaves. …In the CBI chargesheets, Raja has been accused of twisting the First-Come-First-Served to First-Come-First-Paid, but the DoT has said this had happened in the past too when two companies had been issued LoIs (Letter of Intent) on the same day”.(The Economic Times 7-6-2011)
This proves that BJP has no moral right to be a party in the struggle against corruption. The serious charges of corruption against the BJP Chief Minister of Karnataka and the corruption charges against the BJP ministers in Punjab Government indicate to what extent several prominent leaders of BJP are facing charges of corruption. It is a fact that both Congress and BJP when in Government will aid and abet corruption and when in opposition will “fight” against corruption.
Only the leaders of the Left Parties are not facing corruption charges and clean and not amassed wealth illegally. But this aspect is not being brought into light by the media since the media are in the hands of big Capitalists who want to focus only the Congress or BJP or other Regional Parties which are supporting their interests.
