Kalpnath Rai continues his campaign against Narasimha Rao

This time, it is the urea scandal

Former minister Kalpnath Rai holds former prime minister P V Narasimha Rao personally responsible for the Rs 1.33 billion urea scam and says "I will not rest unless and until he is brought to book."

Rai told a news conference in Delhi that his one point programme was to destroy Rao and demanded the immediate arrest of the former premier, Sanjeeva Rao, A N Verma (formerly principal secretary to Rao) and N K Sharma (Rao's troubleshooter) for their alleged complicity in the urea scam.

He demanded that a national commission headed by two Supreme Court judges be appointed to inquire into the role of the prime minister's office during Rao's stewardship.

Rai said his demand was simple: The law should take its own course in Rao's case as the former PM advocated the same in the case of others.

He said he had submitted memoranda to the president and prime minister who had assured him that they will "look in to the matter."
