New Delhi, October 29
The Congress on Friday attacked former Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai accusing him of hatching a conspiracy to dislodge an elected government and demanded that he apologise for “misleading the country about the alleged 2G Spectrum and coal allocation scams”.
A day after Rai apologised to Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam for “inadvertently saying that Nirupam was among MPs who pressurised him to keep then PM Manmohan Singh’s name out of the CAG’s 2G report”, party spokesperson Pawan Khera said a conspiracy was hatched against a popularly elected government between 2010 and 2014 and the “mastermind was Vinod Rai”.
“Rai apologised yesterday and admitted that he had lied,” Khera said.
