Raja's criminal genius

Karunanidhi, expectedly, says that A. Raja is behind bars for helping the poor. But the Congress has gone a step ahead. Kapil Sibal and Montek Singh have argued that the undervaluation of 2G spectrum resulted in low call charges and empowered the aam aadmi! Fork-tongued that the grand old party is, it has choreographed a whitewash of the scam, even while criticising the NDA’s telecom ministers for putting an “improper” policy in place (implying that the bjp’s Mahajan-Shourie duo apparently bequeathed a ‘faulty’ policy which Raja’s criminal genius turned into a socialist boon) and making a virtue of Raja’s ouster.
