Dear all,
Welcome.
Welcome.
CAG: The most disputed bureaucrat, CAG, had retired day before yesterday. But prior to his departure, he had raised the issue of increasing scope of powers. As per him, CAG should encompass Public Private Partnership(PPP), Panchayati Raj & other NGO's taking govt. funds.
Speaking to correspondent, he had stated that he never thought of resigning while issuing reports on 2G scam, Coal gate scam etc. His reports had been discussed by Parliament, Public Accounts Committee(PAC), & outside. Therefore, the comments could not be taken as attack. He advocated for appointment through Collegium like that of Judges. It had been a subject matter of dispute during Ex-Law minister. CVC is also appointed likewise. He believes that multi-member CAG would not affect it much. While talking about revenue loss due to 2G spectrum auction, he got dismayed stating that if some believe it, he felt pity on them. As per IT minister, there had been no loss due to 2G spectrum auction. As per him, CBI estimated it to be around 30,000 crores INR while they had estimated it to be around 66,000-1.76 lakh crores INR. Despite it, if any person comments as zero loss, it would be pity only.
Defence Secretary would be taking over as CAG upon his retirement. The Finance ministry stated that he is appointed under article 148(1) of the constitution. AAP had opposed his appointment citing it as weakening the post.

The deal was made through these three touts. Daga was interrogated by CBI on May 7. He could have been an important person and CBI even thought of registering his statement on record. Under IPC, it could be used as evidence against culprits.
