Nira Radia, the corporate lobbyist told to CBI that Union Agricultural Minister Sharad Pawar may be controlling the controversial DB Reality and may have pursued the issue of spectrum and License for Swan telecom with former Telecom Minister A. Raja

Radia gave this statement to CBI and it is filed as a part of charge sheet in the 2G Scam. On this context a journalist asked Radia how she is aware about the Raja and Pawar interference for the approval of Swan Telecom and she replied as That as per the general perception in Mumbai as well as outside DB Realties (sic) directly or indirectly (is) controlled by Sharad pawar and his family members.

Radia also said that she had no documentary proof or some material evidenceto scaffold her allegation. She said Shahid Balwa and Vinod Goenka is the key persons in DB Reality and in that background, I quoted the name of Sharad pawar who might be pursued the matter with Raja, then telecom minister, for showing (favor) to Swan as well as to anil Ambani Reliance Communications in issuing of UAS (Unified Access Service) license and dual technology.

Here it is quite essential to remember the earlier denial from Pawar saying he got nothing to do with the DB Realty Group and Goenka has said that he has family links with the Minister. Also, Goenkas Dynamix Group is a bigger organization and located in Baramati, which is the Pawar elected constituency.

Earlier, CBIs investigations with Radia and questioning sessions revealed many other significant secrets related to the 2G scam. Now, the current statement of Radia including Pawar into this is added further to the 2G scam investigation information.
