Congress govt 'killed' the Bofors case - Arun Jaitley, Leader of Opposition, Rajya Sabha, Business Standard
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government made all efforts to bring the alleged Bofors scam guilty to the book, but the successive Congress-led governments tried to “kill” the case, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley tells Karan Thapar on CNN-IBN’s Devil’s Advocate show. He says the case was taken to its logical conclusion and the CBI, which was probing it, acted independently of the government during the NDA regime from 1998 to 2004.

Verbatim

Shashi Kant Sharma, Defence Secretary, is a surprise appointment as the new Comptroller and Auditor General following the retirement of Vinod Rai. the fact that as a senior officer in the Defence Ministry he had been a vital part of the decision-making process involving the most controversial purchase of Tatra trucks and the Agusta Westland helicopters, it ought to have automatically ruled him out for appointment as CAG. Conversely, the fact that as a bureaucrat he was a party to these deals may be precisely why he was appointed the CAG. He cannot be expected to pick holes in the very deals he had sanctioned as a senior bureaucrat in his new role as the CAG. Simple. But this shows how brazen the UPA has become in trying to put a tight lid over its scams. However, the last word on Sharma's appointment as CAG is still to be said. A conscientious citizen has challenged the appointment through a PIL in the Supreme Court.
