Raja has looted India more than the British
In 2008, Telecom Minister A Raja's decision to award licenses for 2G spectrum -instead of auctioning it- is reported to have cost the government more than 1.76 lakh crore rupees.
Raja has presided over what is easily the "mother of all scams" - the 2G Spectrum scam, that has caused, according to calculations worked out by no less an authority than the Comptroller & Auditor General of India, loss to the Indian exchequer to the extent of Rs. 1,76,379 Crores!
Raja's scam, perpetrated with just a few signatures over a few hours, outclasses the British loot by 200 times! If this money was available with the Central Government, we need not have gone for the controversial increases in petroleum prices that have broken the back of India's middle class. Houses worth Rs. 1 lakh each could have been built and distributed free to as many as 2 crore poor, homeless Indians. The Ganga could have been cleaned and could have been linked to a cleaned-up Cooum... So much could have been done. So many benefits could have accrued. Raja's pro-active role in this massive, unprecedented scam has been made public not merely by opposition politicians and the media but by the Central Vigilance Commission, the High Court of Delhi, The Supreme Court of India and the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
The time has come for the people to step in.
I call upon the every concerned citizen of India - to express their sense of outrage.
Now the President officially knows that a loot of Rs. 1,76,379 Crores has taken place. It is now for the people to let the President know how they feel about it. I therefore call upon all Indians to send a one line telegram to the President of India at Rashtrapathi Bhavan, Delhi, demanding the dismissal of Union Telecom Minister A Raja. This has to be done, if India is to be saved. People power alone can save the Nation.
Thank You.
