BJP on coal loss: PM should introspect and quit

August 17, 2012 15:36

The BJP today demanded resignation of the government alleging that scams in the coal, power and airport sectors had exposed the "loot and plunder" of the country.

"Government is badly exposed by the three CAG reports on power, coal and Delhi airport. The magnitude of these scams, according to the CAG report, is between Rs 1.6 and 1.86 lakh crore," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said outside the Parliament.

"It is nothing but loot and plunder of the country. The UPA has no moral right to be in power after (the revelation by) these CAG reports. The CVC has handed over the probe to the CBI and we are following it," he said.
