Any deviation at lower level will be dealt with: A Raja

Telecom minister A Raja today said any deviation by lower rung officers from government's policy decision on spectrum allocation would be dealt with.
   
"I have made it clear, any deviation in the lower level, after the policy decision was taken by the government, to show favouritism to a specific company by a lower officer, will be dealt with," he told reporters here on sidelines of a function.
   
"I was very categorical from the beginning and I want to reiterate it now," he said.
    
Raja faces allegations by opposition that there are irregularities in allocation of 2G spectrum. Last week, CBI searched offices of Department of Telecom and many new private telecom players, who were given spectrum last year in connection with charges made against the telecom minister.
    
Raja said spectrum was alloted as per the recommendations made by industry regulator Trai and after consultation with the prime minister Manmohan Singh.
     
The prime minister today in Thailand said opposition allegations are not correct. "In democracy charges are traded but that does not  mean what Opposition is saying is right," Singh told reporters  at Cha-Am-Hua Hin, where he is attending the twin summits of Asean and Eas Asia.
