Chidambaram did not do enough to stop 2G scam: Bhardwaj
In an interview to NDTV, Bhardwaj said: “Chidambaram is making a wrong statement. It was he who allowed this 2G scam, along with others from the DMK. The Prime Minister was insisting from Day One that it should be done in a transparent manner.”
The statement came in response to Chidambaram’s recent comment that then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh could have prevented the telecom scam if the UPA had cancelled the licenses.
Known to be an old Gandhi family loyalist, Bhardwaj said that Priyanka Gandhi can revive the Congress if she is given a bigger role in the party.
“I have no doubt that if she roams around, she can involve the masses and revive the party…She resembles her grandmother Indira Gandhi,” he said.
Talking about Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi he said: “When I was in Karnataka, I saw Rahul is not capable of addressing a mass audience. He would meet 50 university and college students and leave. That’s the basic difference.”
