As the story finally panned out the king(Raja) of the elections was born who made a tidy sum on sale of spectrum. Post the public denouncement across the board by the entire fourth estate the PC is busy undermining the value of the 3G spectrum sale so that the "free" sale by the King can be brought in context with the "price" of the 3G.
How is this to be achieved?
Step 1 - Get somebody to offer 3G at rates lower than 2G (isnt that what BSNL and MTNL - both PC controlled are offering?)
Step 2 - Make the availability of spectrum the lottery here rather than the license !!
You can be rest assured working on the above the auction prices of the 3G would be comparable to the 2G license sale just to fund an election and that would be the faits accomplis that the PC wants and all along we had a King of the elections - just that the poor fellow doesnt know it!!
