It said the wrong policies of UPA were to be blamed for low collections.
"This must be the first government of the world which is celebrating its defeat. The auction for 2G which did not yield the desired amount is failure of the UPA government. But instead of accepting its own follies it is blaming the CAG, CVC, the Supreme Court and everybody else," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
Rising to the defence of the CAG, BJP said the attack on him by the UPA ministers is part of the same conspiracy to clip its wings by making it a multi-member body.
"CAG had estimated losses for 2007 in his report. Mishandling of the economy by the UPA government in the last five years has deterred several investors... Our Indian investors are now investing abroad," Javadekar said.
BJP plans to keep this issue alive and will raise it in the forthcoming Parliament session to put the government on the mat.
"It is sad that this government is attacking all institutions and trying to make CAG look responsible for the low bidding. It is doing so because it is neck-deep in corruption," Javadekar said.
Javadekar said Telecom minister Kapil Sibal should clarify why the government did not go for auction in 2008.
"In five years you have destroyed the whole economic momentum.... To say that lower bidding shows their first come first serve policy is right is a flawed argument," he said.
Govt should introspect: Jaitley
Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitely today said that failure of 2G auction was an indicator of how badly the economy was faring under the UPA government.
"The failure of 2G auction shows mismanagement of telephone sector in 2012 and indicates in which direction this government has taken country's economy," Jaitley said here, talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function.
"Any responsible government should be worried about it, it should introspect, but UPA ministers and spokespersons are happy that 2G auction flopped," the BJP leader said.
"They cannot imagine that this failure will lead to increase in fiscal deficit and create a negative impact on the economy."
The 2G auction, which lasted two days, got total bids of Rs 9,407.64 crore, just one-third of the minimum Rs 28,000 crore the government was expecting. The auction was a far cry from the 35-day bidding for the 3G spectrum in 2010 that got Rs 67,719 crore.
BJP had made several allegations of corruption against government on the 2G issue based on the presumptive loss figure of Rs 1.76 lakh crore, given by CAG.
