In the wake of the CAG report on the 2G scandal and the Opposition demand for the removal of communications minister A Raja, prime minister Manmohan Singh on Friday sought to put DMK on notice, saying that the Congress alliance with the southern party continued “as of now”.

Asked about AIDMK leader J Jailalitha’s reported offer of support of her 18 MPs if Raja is removed, the PM told media persons on his return trip from Seoul G20 Summit that it was for the Congress high command to take a decision on this.

“This is a subject (Jailalitha’s offer) which I am hearing for the first time. This is for the Congress high command, I think, to take note of. I don’t know what Dr. Jayalalitha has said. We are in alliance with the DMK and that alliance stands as of now”, Singh said.

The prime minister, however, declined comments on the Opposition demand for Raja’s removal following the CAG report indicting him for the multi-thousand crore scam.

“Parliament is in session. It is not proper for me to comment on a subject which is also probably in the court”, Singh said.

At the national news conference in May on the occasion of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government completing the first year of its second term, the prime minister had said “action will be taken against anyone found guilty of corruption in the alleged scam in 2G telecom licensing.”

Raja had then told reporters in Hyderabad that he was not shying away from any investigation.

Congress sought to occupy moral high ground this week is getting Ashok Chavan to resign as chief minister of Maharashtra in the wake of the Adarsh housing society scam. It also secured the resignation of Suresh Kalmadi as secretary of the Congress parliamentary party because of the alleged corruption in Commonwealth Games projects supervised by Kalmadi as the head of the Games organising committee.
