Don't make A Raja, Kalmadi scapegoats: Gadkari

The BJP today said the government should not make A Raja and Suresh Kalmadi scapegoats in the 2G spectrum issue and Commonwealth Games scams and asserted that since all decisions were taken by the Union cabinet and the Prime Minister, a JPC probe alone could bring out the truth.

"The decisions by (former Telecom Minister) A Raja and other ministers, were taken with the permission of the Union cabinet and the Prime Minister some where or the other during the process," said Nitin Gadkari, BJP president. "So who is Raja's Godfather and who all were involved should be revealed to the nation which is the right of the people."
   
Gadkari continued to insist until a JPC is formed, the whole truth about the scandal will not come out.

"It will be an eyewash until the whole truth is revealed and the inquiry is made till the last point," he said.
   
He alleged that the Congress and UPA were involved in the 2G Spectrum allocation scam and without them this scandal would not have been possible.
   
"Others cannot get away with a clean image by sacrificing Kalmadi and Raja - though the two may be guilty. The government cannot make them scapegoats and get away," he said.

He also alleged that the Prime Minister should be held responsible for the policy decisions on 2G spectrum allocation, and demanded a full inquirty to bring out the truth in "black and white."
