Why A Raja had to go

An arbitrary auction

In its final report on the 2G spectrum allocation controversy, the Comptroller and Auditor General has found the manner in which the whole auction of the airwaves was done was arbitrary, didn't follow its own guidelines and gave unfair advantage to certain companies.

The 45-page report which clearly indicted former Union Communications Minister A Raja, under whose leadership the auction was carried, was submitted to the government last week.

It has been tabled in Parliament on Tuesday.
