A Raja was born on 10th May 1963 in Peramblur, Tamil Nadu. He is a member of 15th Lok Sabha representing the Nilgiris. He first became Communication and Information Technology minister in 2007 and on being re-elected in 2009, he again became Communication and Inforamtion Technology Minister. But the problem started when in 2008 he sold the 2G spectrum at the prices of 2001. The 2G scam is the largest political corruption case in modern Indian history, amounting to record $40 billion loss for underpricing to the Government of India. However the CAG report states that the loss is of 176,000 crore. CAG reports says that Raja is personally responsible for the scam and for all these he resigned on 14th November 2010.

Communication and IT minister Mr Kapil Sibal in an interview with CNBC TV18. He when question about Comptroller and Auditor(CAG) General's report which states the loss of Rs 1.76 lakh-crore, his response was that report is utterly erroneous. Mr Sibal added that CAG wrongly interpreted Communication between Prime Minister, Dr Manmhon Singh and Former Telecom Minister, A Raja. He says that there was no loss in the sale of 2G spectrum. Mr B.K. Syngal, former Chairman, VSNL ltd, question why 2G spectrum was sold in 2008 at the prices of 2001.


According To CAG the state exchequor loss is Rs 1.76 lakh-crore. But Kapil Sibal added to it that if we calculate the total loss in NDA Government from 1999 is Rs 1.43 lakh-crore. Kapil Sibal supported Former Telecom Minister, A Raja when CBI was investing about the links between A Raja and various companies and airwaves. According to Kapil Sibal, sometimes for Public welfare, we have to face some loss.
