sense of vindication or celebration" in the government over last week's 2G spectrum auction failure.

"Nobody feels vindicated, nobody is celebrating anything. All that we have pointed out is that Rs 1.76 lakh crore was a pure myth and I think everybody has candidly admitted that they bought this myth, we never bought this myth," he said.

So Congress minister thinks like another minister Veniprasad, if the sum is not astronomical it is not corruption. By celebrating their failure in collecting lower amount, Congress has exposed their another scam and that is hand in gloves with the Corporate even at the cost of the nation.

2G

It was expected that the figure uttered by CAG could be artificial and exorbitant. Looks like either a political or persona l vendetta was hidden in the whole 2G affair. The veracity of CAG%u2019s comments on many recent incidents is confusing. Highly exaggerated figures on various corruptions and scandals are coming out through CAGs and somehow laymen are forced to swallow these pills. For e.g., a highly exorbitant figure of 2G scam has been published across the medias in India. Was there any reality in it? Where it has gone now? Of course, Government will be shelling out and wasting millions from the tax-payers money for investigation on any scam. Also, political parties will be bombarding the opponents (either ruling or opposition parties) with the issue and lure the common man as if these parties are%u2019 Harichandras%u2019 and laymen are fools to believe any thing.
