New Delhi: Indias billions rupees scam fight reach to France.Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeted the previous UPA government and said that it had allocated coal blocks like one gives away a pen or a handkerchief, resulting in loss of lakhs of crores of rupees.Congress party targeted Modi and asked will Modi fight election in France?
Addressing the Indian community in Paris Modi said “You must have heard about coal (block allocations)…204 coal blocks were given away just like that…Like someone comes to meet you and you give him your pen, or you give your handkerchief…Even if you give your pen to someone, you will think ten times whether you are giving it to the right person,”.
He said that he decided that the revenue generated from the auction will not be kept in the central government’s treasury but be given to states for development and healthcare. The beneficiary states include Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha, which have coal mines, he said.
Modi said soon after the NDA government came to power, the Supreme Court said no coal can be mined after 31 March 2015. “20 coal blocks out of 204 have been auctioned so far and we got more than Rs.2 lakh crore from them,” Modi said, while noting that CAG had estimated the loss of Rs.1.76 lakh crore on account of allocation of 204 mines. “Only 10% of the work has been done. If any government does such a thing during the entire term, people will say you rule for 25 years,” Modi said.
Modi asserted that on the basis of experience of 10 months as Prime Minister, he could say that “there is no reason why India should remain poor.” He said that all the international agencies such as World Bank, IMF are saying India is the fastest growing economy. “Even Moody’s is also saying that India’s growth prospect are right,” Modi said.
