Cong conspiring in private to put 2G blame on DMK: BJP

New Delhi, May 25 (PTI) Insisting that the 2G spectrum
scam happened with the "blessings" of Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh and UPA(United Progressive Alliance) chairperson Sonia
Gandhi, India's principal opposition party, BJP Wednesday said
Congress is now "romancing" in public with DMK on the issue
but conspiring in private to put all the blame on its ally.
"Congress and DMK are together on the issue of
corruption and acted in a pre-planned, well-thought out manner
on the 2G scam. Now, in public Congress is romancing with DMK
but in private it is conspiring against its ally,"
BJP(Bhartiya Janta Party) spokesperson Jagat Prakash Nadda
said.
Elaborating, he said while Home Minister P Chidambaram
and Health Minister Gulam Nabi Azad met DMK(Dravida Munnettra
Kazhagam) Chief M Karunanidhi to sympathise for Kanimozhi's
arrest, behind the scenes the Congress is taking the stand
that it has acted against corruption.
"Congress is trying to put all the blame for the 2G
scam on DMK," Nadda said.
The BJP stated that it had claimed from the beginning
that both Congress and DMK were partners in the "loot".
"We have maintained since the beginning that the 2G
scam could not have happened without the blessings the Prime
Minister and approval of Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
Congress and DMK are two sides of the same coin," Nadda said.
He insisted the two parties were deeply involved in
corruption.
Referring to the correspondence between Singh and then
telecom minister A Raja, Nadda said, "It shows that there was
an unstated consent of the prime minister on the 2G spectrum
licences."
Nadda said later Chidambaram had suggested that the
matter (of reported anomalies in 2G spectrum allocation)
should be closed.
"We have come to know - and the media should also
investigate further - that Chidambaram had also insisted then
that the government should go ahead with the
first-come-first-serve proposal," he said.
The main Opposition also came out strongly against
Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal for challenging the CAG report on
2G scam.
"Kapil Sibal set aside all parliamentary procedures
and practices by challenging the CAG report... The scams
indicate that Congress is fully involved and is the progenitor
of all corruption," Nadda said.
