[rti4empowerment] BJP says more ministers involved in SScam

I have posted the following comments (may appear after moderation):

The only advantage of having the second biggest party in the opposition is that it can be an 'effective' opposition. But why is it that neither in Parliament nor in the state assemblies we find the opposition 'effective'? We know that the Congress (?, or better still the Nehru family party) through its long innings in power everywhere has perfected the art of corruption by possibly throwing crumbs at the les miserables from other parties and making them keep their mouths shut. Isn't it time these underdogs saw through the game and put an end to it?

BJP alleges more ministers involved in 2G scam, demands ouster
Press Trust of India, Updated: November 14, 2010 18:32 IST
New Delhi: Sharpening its attack on Congress on corruption issue, BJP today
alleged that "other" cabinet ministers are also involved in the 2G spectrum scam
along with A Raja and asserted that they "will also have to go" along with the
Telecom Minister.

"This money was not only looted by Raja... Congress leaders were also
involved.... Money has not only gone to Chennai. It has benefited Congress
also," BJP president Nitin Gadkari said while addressing a public rally in
Najafgarh.

Questioning the role of other cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister in the 2G
spectrum issue, Gadkari said, "Has Raja alone siphoned off the money. Has the
Prime Minister not signed the files? If he was wrong, then why was he not
stopped...? It is not just Raja who will have to go, other ministers who are
involved in it will also have to go."

For the second consecutive day, the party tried to link a close aide of Rahul
Gandhi with CWG irregularities.

"Emaar-MGF, the firm that built the Games village is involved in a scam of
Rs.2,000 crore. Who owns this company? One of its owners is one Gupta. His
nephew Kanishka Singh is the political secretary of Congress leader Rahul
Gandhi.

"I seek answers on this from Sonia Gandhi," Gadkari said.

Kanishka Singh, however, said that he has absolutely nothing to do with the
matter and termed BJP's allegations as "entirely baseless, false and with an
ulterior purpose".

To blunt the opposition's attack over multiple corruption charges, the Congress
last week sacked Suresh Kalmadi, who was the CWG 2010 Organising Committee
Chairman, from a party post.

Gadkari said, "Kalmadi was not the only one involved in CWG scam. Other Congress
ministers also played a role. There are many other players like Kalmadi in this
scam."

Stating that the Prime Minister's Office, Finance Minister, Sports Minister and
seven Cabinet Ministers along with the Delhi Chief Minister were involved with
the CWG, Gadkari demanded a JPC probe into the matter.

"Till the time the Joint Parliamentary Committee is not formed to investigate
the CWG, we will keep fighting on the issue not only in Parliament but outside
also," he added.

The Opposition has been seeking Raja's ouster but the Telecom Minister has been
defiant about his role.
