I have tried — maybe like so many other Indians — to understand this whole CAG and coal thing. First, you have to comprehend CAG. I’m one of those people who cannot get a word of what their chartered accountant says to them except for sign here and pay this much which is also another way of saying sign here. So to take on the Comptroller and Auditor General is no mean task. Actually, I still don’t know what a comptroller is except that is sounds like a character from some 19th century British murder mystery (Tea in the Conservatory with the Comptroller?) but since I somewhat know what an auditor is, I’m going along with that.

In a different league: The coal scam, it turns out, is a whole other kettle of fish from the 2G spectrum scam
