A RAJA AND A DACOIT

People look at the King to rule the state in the best interest of the state. All his decisions are expected to be fair, just and always in the interest of the state and the common man but never in the interest of a lobby. He is expected to take all the steps necessary to augment the resources of the state. On the other hand a dacoit is interested in looting the state. He acts in the interest of his own and of his master. Telecom minister A Raja, the king of Telecom Ministry, should have acted like a king in the best interest of the state and common man while allocating the 2G spectrum. Unfortunately, it is alleged that, he did not do so. Opposition parties are alleging that he acted in bad faith and in collusion with certain lobbies and has caused a loss to the exchequer to the extent of over Rs 70,000 crores as per the latest valuations of the 3G spectrum. In spite of several recommendations to auction the spectrum he did not agree. He even went against the advice of the week Prime Minister and the week Finance Minster, and allocated startup spectrum at a ridiculously low price without any justification. It is for the people to decide as to whether A Raja acted as ‘A King’ or as ‘A Dacoit’. He must be dismissed from the cabinet immediately. The illegally allotted spectrum should be recovered from the illegal beneficiaries and auctioned to the highest bidders thereby the genuine revenues of the state should be realized. As far as A Raja is concerned he should be booked under the anti corruption legislation.
