Speaking to CNN-IBN, Swamy said he will move court on Wednesday seeking criminal proceedings against Raja.

'I will move the Tees Hazari court today with my complaint against Raja. I hope today when I go to court they will make him finally an accused,' he said.

'Raja would not have been a minister without Radia's influence. Her influence extends to opposition parties too. She used her influence to see that Raja does become the Telecom minister. She did not want Dayanidhi Maran in. Raja did whatever she wanted in return,' said Swamy.
