CAG report blames govt for favouritism, losses

August 17, 2012 13:29

The three CAG reports on power, coal and airports have been tabled in Parliament and as expected there is furor from the Opposition benches. The CAG report pulls up the government for favouritism and says that the bidding process was vitiated by allowing Reliance Power to use excess coal from three blocks allocated to Sasan project. CAG also slams the levy of development fee on passengers at Delhi Airport, saying it vitiated the sanctity of bidding process. The report says that the aviation ministry caused losses to the exchequer.

BJP's Rajiv Pratap Rudy says the PM should reply to the CAG report.
