that there is documentary statement where it is stated a member of PAC had asked to calculate loses using a particular formula. I cannot confirm the name, but I can confirm the content," Singh added.

He specifically said that he has been misquoted in the news report.

"I said a member of PAC... It has misquoted me," he said.

The former official said that on one evening of July 2011, Deputy CAG Rekha Gupta summoned him and told him that that report needs to be delivered at 10 am to the Finance Secretary and Telecom Secretary.

"I came back to my office at around 7.30 pm or 8 pm. I ordered my team to prepare a prescribed format along with the set of complete supporting key documents... I signed it that very day at around 8 pm," Singh recollected.

On why he chose to speak on the issue after 14 months of his retirement, Singh said he was asked to comment on the presumptive loss figure in the CAG report following the just concluded spectrum auction which fetched "much much less" amount in comparison to the presumptive loss figures.

What Mr. R.P. Singh has revealed is true in almost every government organisation where the subordinates have no say in dissenting with the view of his superior. Even if the subordinate has put up a factual note, the draft is corrected by the boss, and the former has to sign it, as though it was his opinion, and if anything goes wrong, gets the blame for it. Any employee in a government / government undertaking will vouch for this sorry state of affairs in our administrative system. About this CAG position, if the present going ons are observed, it has become a monstrous authority unto itself, who can say anything and get away with it, causing embarrassment to the whole nation with his reports which may not have any substance. Even in our Supreme Court no single Judge can be the sole ultimate authority to decide on any issue; there is a provision for appeal to a bench of Judges; there is a Constitutional Bench and the beauty is that any the Judges can have a dissenting view and the majority opinion is the ultimate that prevails. In the present context, there is a urgent and definitely need to restructure the CAG institution, on the lines of our Hon'ble Supreme Court (which is the pride of our nation, among the various pillars of our democracy). The Govt. of India need not shy away from such an idea, because some people are going to make a hue and cry about it, who themselves may have to face the same awkward situation, because they may also become the ruling party, because, ultimately the majority of the people of this nation prevails, and no individual should have any unbridled power which is nothing short of autocracy.

selfish officer

As we seen the devils interview mr.singh cearly in fumble he was brought by the idiot party to malign the bjp for political mileage how can a idiot to quote 1.2 lakh crores pressumptive loss to 2652 crores as we are not having any flowers in our ears,this fellow sold out to congress party& made allegations on the influence,how this idiot has signed with out study of report in the capacity of DG of audit whether he knows the business rules&the procedure of auditing,never other wise how this fellow after retirement that too after 16 months made relevations,this is a case of non integrity,not knowing of office procedure.If any objections in the report to the knowledge of the officer then &there only to discuss and rectify if not there to write his comments on report but this mathar chod officer is totally a tyranny anti national,self sold bugger if situation warrants he may sold the nation,so he may be treated as anti national what ever the punishment deemed to given under court of law.

. People blame everything is't that obvious ; . No one is better neither congress nor BJP ,but there are good people in both parties is't that obvious . one party want to embarrass other party is that too obvious . Any one can manipulate a report without any error margin , ask a CA how he does it , is't that obvious ;shh... just don't count the last transaction just put your own figure BASED ON INFLATION , Untill now !!!!! . Joshi loves BJP . Joshi turned blind eye to figures given by singh figures , . Singh's objection was silenced on media frenzy on blaming government , there are 3 documents at the least showing his resistance during publishing figures . Now media want's attention so they hail singh ; . Some people don't like it because the are Pro BJP ; . Some people like it because they are Pro congress ;
