Scams are common in political life.Ministers should be honest to respond them.
It is very hard to digest the bitter truth that scams are more common in politics.
The Tamilnadu chief Minister has told that Raja need not resign. Due to compulsions of coalition politics, Union government is helpless. see the link below.

One says to resign while the co allition party says no.This is the dilemma faced by co-allition government.
Raja is getting full protection from Government. It is viewed that he made no irregularities. See the link:

Raja is adamant and has stated that he will not resign.

Although he stands charged with causing huges losses to the exchequer but the matter is still sub judice! I still believe he should resign on moral grounds but morality is the least important thing in politics in India!
Its rude to have such a thing. Politics has many faces which can't be known to us.
It's not merely rude.I would rather say it's becoming a circus which only the political players are enjoying!!
Raja says that he followed the 1999 telecom policy in 2g case. Here is the link to know more,http://ibnlive.in.com/news/i-followed-1999-telecom-policy-in-2g-case-raja/134831-37-64.html?from=tn
Now it is claimed that raja defied P.M.'s directions in allotment of 2g spectrum.

Now things have taken an interesting turn with AIDMK supremo making smart move!I think the way DMK chief Karunadhi who is staking his personal prestige in Raza's continuing in his post it is clear Raja might not have been the sole stakeholder in it!
After resignation of Rajs, there is question- Who after Raja. There is big queue of DMK VIPs in queue.

Opposition is adamant on JPC probe of the 2G scam. Jaya lalitha, AIADMK leader has also advised that Union govt should not shy away from the probe.

The Comptroller & auditor General has refuted the claim of Raja over the scam issue.

Now Prime Minister faces tough questions on raja's 2G scam. The Prime Minister office remained indifferent.

It's truly the mother of all scams and I suspect Karunanidhi and his family is involved in this!
Cancellation of several licenses given for 2G is on cards.

And DMK is disappointed as Congress took the charge of the department.
