Former telecom minister A. Raja and his staff threatened and coerced officials in giving preference to Swan Telecom and Unitech over Tata group in the award of telecom licences, CBI has informed the Joint Parliamentary Committee probing the 2G scam.
Director CBI A.P. Singh who gave a detailed presentation on various aspects of spectrum allocation scam on June 7 told the panel that two officers who did not put the file, giving preference to Swan Telecom over Tata Tele-Services Limited, were transferred by Secretary (Telecom) Siddarth Behura “in league with” Raja’s private secretary R.K. Chandolia.
He told the JPC that the then Wireless Advisor R.P. Aggarwal was given “credible threat of consequences” and was forced to put up a note for allocating spectrum to Swan in Delhi circle, which was approved by Mr. Behura and Mr. Raja.
Were Sr. Telecom Officials were so recourseless against such threat that they, invariably, had to comply the corrupt Minister and become part of that National Loot of 176,000 Crores, willy, nilly?
The relationship between Ambani-headed company, Reliance Telecom and Swan Telecom, aren't intriguing, as this is how they they bend the rules!
