BJP: Coal-gate textbook case of crony capitalism

September 07, 2012 14:36

Arun Jaitley addressing the meet now says, the party's demands on the coal scam remain the same. "It's sad to see the steps, or the lack of steps taken by the government. Competitive bidding of coal blocks has not even begun as yet," Jaitley frowns.

He says the battle will now move out of Parliament (when was it in Parliament, anyway) on to the streets. Jaitley says Coalgate is a textbook case of crony capitalism where businessmen and politicians linked to the UPA made windfall gains.
