NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday said the BJP’s “hypocrisy knows no bounds” and alleged that while it called the administrative allocation of 2G spectrum under the UPA a “scam”, the Narendra Modi government was now seeking permission from the Supreme Court to “give away spectrum” without an auction.The opposition party’s attack came after the Centre on Monday moved the Supreme Court seeking modification of its verdict in the 2G spectrum case which said the State was duty bound to adopt the auction route while transferring or alienating the country’s natural resources.A top source, however, later said the government is not seeking to change the 2012 Supreme Court judgement that backed auction as the preferred mode of allocating telecom spectrum except for narrowly defined sectors such as satellite communication and defence where auction is not feasible.Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “The hypocrisy of the ‘Modi Sarkar’ and ‘Bhrasht Janata Party’ knows no bounds.During Dr Manmohan Singh’s tenure, they cried to all who would listen that the administrative allocation of 2G spectrum was a ‘scam'”.”Now, they are arguing the opposite – they have gone to the Supreme Court for permission to give away spectrum to whoever they want, without an auction,” he alleged.
