The CBI’s scrutiny of the “incriminating” documents it had seized on Wednesday has yielded major disclosures that could lead to many more skeletons tumbling out of the 2G scam cupboard. The seizures were made during raids on the residences and establishments of former Telecom Minister A Raja, his aides and the bureaucrats of his erstwhile Ministry. Sources said four diaries belonging to Raja, parallel files pertaining to the spectrum allocation and the Prime Minister’s original letter to Raja — advising him for transparent auction of the spectrum — have been found. While CBI officials remained tightlipped on the recovery, sources in the agency said the diaries are written mostly in Tamil and mention payments to politicians and journalists - I can't stop laughing and crying at the same time. Am I to understand that Raja, who is involved in a Scam worth a few lakh crores, which is the talk of the town for the last couple of years, and who has recently quit his post, and is the cause for Parliament to be stalled with MPs demanding a JPC, is daft enough to keep Diaries in his house where he has written the names of the people to whom he has made the pay-off.
There can be only three explanations.
Either he is daft and absolutely cuckoo, which I really suspect.
Or the Government and the CBI are daft and cuckoo, which also is an improbability.
Or the Government, CBI and Raja together thinks that we, the citizens, are daft and cuckoo to believe such crap.
And I suspect, and fear the last is the case.
