The opposition alleged that even when some of the beneficiaries of the 2G licenses along with spectrum sold a part of their equity to foreign investors for a considerable sum, the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister did not take any corrective measures.

"Inspite of evidence to show that 2G licenses have been given at a throw away price to chosen few, Chidambaram sought to camouflage by giving it the spin of infusion of foreign equity," Gadkari said.

The BJP reiterated that the magnitude of the scam (Rs 1.76 Lakh Crore) had been decided by the CAG and not the Opposition. "This is the biggest scam of independent India. BJP has always maintained that the 2G scam is not about one ministry or one ministry alone," Gadkari said.

The BJP was not impressed with the clarifications given by Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal on Raja's comments and the opposition's demand for Singh and Chidambaram's resignation. "It is curious that when our national president asked Sonia Gandhi for her response, Congress party asked Sibal to reply. He is the minister who had earlier said that the CAG report is useless and there was zero loss in 2G spectrum allocation," BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.

He maintained that this shows the "intentions" of the Congress as Raja is not any other person who has made these charges. "Raja is a former Cabinet minister, Sibal's former colleague and whose party is still a part of the UPA coalition," Prasad said.

 He sought to know why the Prime Minister had stated a week after the CBI inquiry was ordered that Raja is innocent. "Why was the cut-off date for applications changed? On January 10, 2008, only 45 minutes were given for submitting applications. Bouncers were placed in Sanchar Bhawan," Prasad charged.
