BJP on CAG coal loss: PM directly responsible

August 17, 2012 15:20

The BJP wants the PM's scalp over the CAG report on coal allocation loss of Rs 1.86 lakh crore. Sushma Swaraj says this is a new chapter in corruption and the UPA is breaking all records in corruption. Blaming the PM for the loss (he was the coal minister then) she says he is responsible and cannot blame anyone else.

Arun Jaitley says the PM cannot use A Raja or P Chidambaram as a shield and pass on the blame.
