New Delhi:  Even as the government continues to feel the heat on the 2G spectrum scam, the BJP today hit out at the government on another spectrum allocation issue.

The BJP questioned  ISRO's deal with a private firm, Devas. According to reports ISRO gave prime spectrum to Devas at throwaway prices in 2005 without inviting bids.

According to the Hindu, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) gave 70 Mz of prime spectrum to a private firm Devas in 2005 for Rs. 1000 crore.  No competitive bids were invited. On the other hand MTNL and BSNL were given 20 Mhz for Rs. 12,847 crore.

The report in The Hindu says that the CAG pegs ISRO-spectrum deal loss at  about Rs. 2 lakh crore.
