Now,BJP wants CBI to probe Chidambaram’s role too

Sensing that the proceedings of the JPC may not be smooth given what unfolded in the PAC,the BJP also declared its intention to battle it out in the JPC.

Stepping up its attack on the government,Sinha said Chidambaram was the Finance Minister when the 2G allocation happened and he was also responsible. He said the “whole truth” will not come out until he does not come under the purview of the CBI investigation. “The CBI should probe P Chidambaram’s role…. He is a master of obfuscation…. He did not perform his role as the Finance Minister,” Sinha charged.

Sinha as well as Joshi came down heavily on the Prime Minister too.

The BJP’s intention to launch a fight in the JPC was spelt out clearly. “There will be a fight in the JPC also and we are ready for it,” Sinha said.

Joshi took it upon himself to travel across the country to expose the government on the basis of the PAC report,which has been thrashed by the ruling MPs in the panel. The BJP — in an attempt to strike a chord with the masses — wants to project the report as an indictment of the government for the “loot” of public money and the PAC members as the anti-corruption crusaders. In fact,Joshi himself said the “hard-earned money of the common man” was looted and attacked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal for rubbishing the report.

Gadkari said he has urged Joshi and the other BJP members in the PAC like Yashwant Sinha and Kalraj Mishra to travel the length and breadth of the country to take the issue to the people.

Gadkari alleged that the ruckus in the PAC meeting happened with the consent of the Prime Minister and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi. “I want to ask whether the tamasha happened without the consent of the Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi? Both of them have not said anything on this issue till now,” he said.
