RS: Do you think that people of this country would believe that you didn't make Rs 1 or Dollar 1?
A Raja: I took oath as a minister, on the constitution. You can't blame me for committing a wrong just on the basis of public perception. I did a revolution in telecom ministry.
RS: PM Manmohan had a very clean image. Because of you, his face was blackened.
A Raja: I have proved in the court that I'm honest. A person's credibility is all because of him. Under the Prevention of corruption Act, three things are essential. A public servant or a minister should not have unlawful or illicit money. CBiI admitted Raja has no illicit money. The second thing is that there is should be no exchequer loss to the govt. D Subbarao told the court there is no exchequer loss. Now the court is going on the third point whether any favour was done to ineligible company. The law ministry says they are all eligible.
RS: PM advised you spectrum should be auctioned but you ignored it.
A Raja: No, it's not true. THE PM did not say for auctioning of spectrum. COAI had sent some options to PM who forwarded it to me. The PM can't change the law approved by parliament. The law prohibits auctioning spectrum. It says spectrum is not for making money. I replied that auction can't be done as long as the law is not changed.
