Left too targets PM,says he tried to justify 2G scam

He criticised Singh for comparing the presumptive loss in the allocation of 2G spectrum with the food and fertiliser subsidies.

Raja sought to know whether the PM considered the subsidies as a loss to the exchequer,saying he only tried to explain the scam. He should explain how corporate houses made such huge profits. It was virtually a loot. The PM did not answer that question. That is totally strange and that too from a PM who is himself an economist.

CPM politburo member Brinda Karat too accused the PM of trying to justify the 2G scam. He defended the policies and the procedures (of 2G spectrum allocation) and even the immediate sale of equity of two firms through huge amounts. He actually defended it saying this was just a way of raising funds from the market.
