Speaking to The Quint in an interview, former CAG Vinod Rai said, "I stand 100 percent by the 1.76 lakh crore figure." Rai asserted that, if given the chance to conduct the CAG audit on 2G spectrum allocation again, he would do it the same way. Talking about his latest book, Rethinking Governance: Holding to Account India’s Public Institutions, Rai spoke about the mandate of the CAG, the changing roles of public institutions, why acquittals in the 2G report aren’t a reflection of the CAG audit, and the credibility crisis in the CBI.
