No evidence against me in the 2G scam: A. Raja


New Delhi, March 14 (IANS): DMK leader A. Raja said Friday he is innocent and there is no evidence against him in the alleged irregularities in allocating 2G spectrum, adding the government did not defend the accusations well enough.

"Two things are very clear... there is no exchequer loss and there is no illegal wealth with me. Despite of that, people are saying there is a big scam," he said.

"No evidence has come out against me," he said.

He said government did not argue the case well enough at any of the forums.

"Had the 2G case been defended at all the forums, parliament and the court, the entire case would not have come up. The issues enumerated in CBI chargesheet or issues contemplated by the CAG report were not properly appraised by the government before the competent forums," he said in an interview to Times Now.

He said an unsigned note was sent to PMO by the "corporate sector in telecom field".

"It is unfortunate on the part of PMO or PM, that an unwritten note was appended with the letter from prime minister and sent to me before taking decision so that I may be apprised," said Raja.

"I replied to the prime minister that the suggestions in the appended not is completely against the NTP 1999..." he added.

Raja, who was jailed on corruption charges in 2G spectrum allocation, is seeking re-election from Nilgiris Lok Sabha constituency.

    One point is clear in COAL Scam loss as per CAG is bigger than 2G but nobody went to Jail whereas 2G Raja and Kanimozhi alone went to Jail why? some Heavy weights are either protecting the real culprits and hence if you see Law should be equal for all .In Karnataka also Denotification case BSY small amount goes to Jail SMK bigger amount no Jail

    2G scam is a over rated scam. This is another Bofors, where everybody gets accused, but nothing happens even after the change in govt. One should remember even Amitabh Bacchan, was an accused in Bofors. That does not mean there is not a penny of corruption, there could be but, can not be and not the extent media have made 1.76lakh crore. USD29 Billion paying as a bribe, any Indian companies would have gone berserk.
    Yet, people believed BJP and the media, the truth is coming out slowly. UPA could not defend itself as media, opposition, CAG with leaked reports, SC everybody was at it, exactly like Bofors.
    Also probably, it believed Raja may have made some money like late pramod mahajan.
