With the apex court verdict today on the licence cancellation, the Twitterati was prompt to post its views on the micro blogging website.

Janata Party president Dr Subramanium Swamy (Swamy39), the plaintiff in the 2G spectrum allocation who was among the most satisfied lots from the verdict, tweeted saying, "Best possible judgment. As Chidambaram CBi inquiry would have blocked Court judgment, hence referring to Trial Court was best."

Foremr IPS officer and social activist Kiran Bedi (thekiranbedi) fighting for the Lok Pal Bill replied to Swamy, "@Swamy39 congratulations Dr Swamy. You are changing the destiny of this country."

Among the chief ministers, Omar Abdullah (abdullah_omar) wrote, "I guess I should be happy I stuck to #Airtel and didn't go get #Idea".

Businessman Member of Parliament (Rajeev_mp) Rajeev Chandrasekhar tweeted, "Every one of my letters to the PM and interventions on the 2G scam vindicated completely by today's Supreme Court judgement!!" He added, "This victory is a testament to the guts of few brave journalists, activists tat took on tis huge system of vested interests,politicians&cos!"

Jan Lok Pal (Janlokpal) with another chance to nail the government tweeted, "Quick poll: After the verdict in 2G scam by Supreme Court, UPA Govt has lost moral authority to stay in power? Yes, No or Can't Say."
