New Delhi, Feb 2: The Central Bureau of Investigation, India’s Prime Investigating Agency has today arrested DMK leader and former Union Minister Mr. A Raja, in connection with the sensational 2-G Spectrum scam.

Mr. Raja was called to the CBI office in New Delhi for questioning. After the questioning he was reportedly arrested. Raja who has gone into the CBI office has not come out, said media persons waiting to talk to him. CBI sleuths have also arrested Chandolia and Behuria, former Telecom officials along with Raja.

According to information available at Chennai, headquarters of the DMK Party, Raja is likely to be expelled from the party.

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has said that the exchequer has lost a whopping Rs. 1 lakh and 76 thousand crores in the scam which compelled the minister to quit the union cabinet on November 14, 2010.

Raja who is representing the Nilagiri constituency of Tamilnadu was a close associate of the Tamilnadu Chief Minister Mr. M. Karunanithi.

Now Congress would come out to show Obligation done on country by them on A Raja’s arrest. This alliance proved ” LETHAL “ for India. People of India is frustrated by Congress + DMK alliance loot of the country, feels no shame to dump poor citizens and plays “ DALIT CARD ” for cover-up. For UPA-2 Coalition Dharma [ keep the eyes closed and let the loot go on ] is much higher than Raj Dharma. Expand TIHAR, for the Looters of India. How much does the BLACK MONEY stacked abroad includes the " CUTS " from 2g scam? Hearty Congratulations to S Swamy, Citizens, SC and Alert Media. Thank You to make ” POSSIBLE the IMPOSSIBLE “.
