Bangalore: Speaking on the occasion of inaugurating the 150th anniversary celebrations of Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), a constitutional institution, at Bangalore today, Karnataka Governor Hans Raj Bhardwaj declared that such top level bodies should not fail in discharging their duties ever. Such institutions, as the CAG, have to function for the success of democracy like Central Election Commission, the Judiciary and legislature.
These cannot fail even by human mistakes. To ensure good governance, they have to be modified and improved. CAG has to build public confidence in state expenditure to su that every rupee is accounted for and spent on needy citizens.
The institution of CAG was like a security guard, which correct mistakes of the officialdom with an authority, the Governor stated, referring to CAG in New Delhi.
The CAG had recently indicated Telecom Minster A.Raja of losing Rs. 1.76 lakh crores of Central income in 2G spectrum auction sales. Then A. Raja resigned his post.
