BJP has said that Congress stands exposed after former Comptroller and Auditor General Vinod Rai's revelations that he was pressurized by the UPA government functionaries to drop names of some persons in reports on Commonwealth Games and coal scams.

In a newspaper article about his upcoming book, Rai claimed that politicians approached and asked him not to name some people in the reports.

Addressing media persons in New Delhi today, BJP spokesperson Bizay Sonkar Shastri demanded that Congress reveal the identity of the politicians who approached Vinod Rai.

He said, Rai's disclosures have vindicated the party's stand that UPA government was not only misusing Constitutional bodies but also putting pressure on them.

CPI leader Atul Anjan said, Vinod Rai's revelations are serious and government should take note of them.

Speaking to AIR, he said, facts must be collected from Rai to initiate legal action against those who pressurized him.

Meanwhile, Congress has slammed Rai and accused him of sensationalism.

Party leader Manish Tewari questioned the timing of the revelations and asked why did not Rai make the revelations public while he was in office.

NCP leader Tariq Anwar also criticized Vinod Rai, saying that he wants to sell his book by making sensational claims.

He said, it has now become a fashion to say truth only after retirement and bring out some facts in public domain to gain publicity.
