The CAG had expressed concerns over the “brazenness” with which decisions were taken by the government in many cases. He further suggested that institutions such as Lokpal, Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI should be made constitutional entities without any government interfence.
Vinod Rai’s comments were welcomed by the BJP, but the Congress Party and government have expressed displeasure and noted that he should not have exceeded his constitutional limits.
