Foreword

he Congress led UPA government is now neck deep in scams,

scandals and cases of corruption. Every now and then a new scam
comes to the fore. Every new scam beats the earlier one in term of
magnitude that involvement of Congressmen in the scam. Coalgate as
it has been named has surpassed all the other scams in term of money
and involvement of Congressmen. The law was not only manipulated
but even twisted to suit the interests of Congress ministers and their
relatives who aligned themselves with different corporate entities many
of whom are now proving to be false. As per CAG report the loss to the
exchequer could be nothing less than 1.86 lac crores, the figure may
even cross all imaginations once it is calculated on the basis of market
prices. The 2G scam was of 1.76 lac crore, the Coalgate has even
surpassed it not only in terms of loss incurred to the exchequer but in
terms of the involvement of the Congress ministers. While in 2G scam A
Raja was sent to jail, in Coalgate a large number of Congress ministers
stand implicated. The finger is even pointed to the Prime Minister Dr.
Manmohan Singh who was also in charge of coal ministry for most of
the time when the scams where taking place.
Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded resignation of the Prime
Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, cancellation of the allotment of 147
coal blocks, and, investigation into the entire scam. The demand was
raised forcefully during the monsoon session but to no avail. While Dr.
Manmohan Singh continues to cling to his post, the Congress led UPA
government shows no sign or willingness to rein in corruption. What is
more unfortunate that instead of acting seriously on the charges of
corruption, its ministers mock at the demand to investigate and punish
those who stand implicated in the cases of corruption and scandals.
The statement of the Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde that people
will forget Coalgate as they forgot Bofors is highly unfortunate and
condemnable. It unravels the true character and mindset of the UPA
government which is now bent upon looting the public fund as their
birthright. We are publishing this booklet to highlights the important
issues related to Coalgate scam and its different dimensions. We hope
that our esteemed readers would get benefited from the contents of this
booklet.

Coalgate :

The Biggest Scam of the

UPA Government

he UPA Government is the most corrupt Union

Government since independence. Each passing day only
reinforces this image. The Common Wealth Games scam
involved 76,000 Crore. which rose to 1.76 lac crore in 2G mobile
licenses scam and the Coalgate has surpassed even that involving
a huge amount of 1.86 lac crore. Scam in the purchase of aircraft
for Air India, gifting away very costly precious land to the
developer in the Delhi Airport privatization, further scam in defence
deals and transfer of defence land, massive irregularities in the
Antrix-Devas deal, scam in the purchase of rice and fertilizers;
and the refusal to take effective steps to bring in black money
stashed in foreign banks, the list is just endless. The UPA
Government just stinks. Scam, scandal, embezzlement and
corruption are the only defining image of the Congress led UPA
Government.
What is Coalgate?
1. Coal is an important natural resource owned by the
Government of India. In view of heavy demand for coal blocks it
was proposed to allocate it through competitive bidding in a fair
and transparent manner. However, this decision, in spite of
repeated request of the expert groups including senior officials
both in the Coal Ministry and the PMO; was deliberately delayed
for eight years and in the meanwhile coal blocks in very large
number were allotted to those private companies having high

Coalgate Scam

connection with Congress politicians, Union Ministers, Members

of Parliament of the ruling party and other highly placed. This was
done in a very non-transparent way.
2. This will be evident from the fact that in between 1993 to
2005 (11 Years) only 70 coal blocks were allotted while in a small
period of 2006 to 2009 (3 Years) as many as 142 coal blocks
were allotted. Out of these 70 coal blocks were allotted to 145
private companies none of which have started production till date.
These coal blocks were allotted almost free of cost because a
small bank guarantee was taken from the allotees who were
required to pay royalty only when their coal mine will become
operational. These coal blocks contain approximately 1700 crore
tonne of coal worth 51 lac crore. As a result the share price and
financial worth of these companies rose very high though many of
them had fabricated documents and suppressed facts to get these
coal blocks.
3. The most significant aspect of this scam is that during the
period when these coal blocks were allotted to many of the
favourite companies Dr. Manmohan Singh was himself the Coal
Minister. The two Ministers of State, at that time were Mr. Dashri
Narayan Rao and Mr. Santosh Bagrodia also belonged to
Congress. Therefore, those who had high connections and were
favourites of the Congress Party were granted coal blocks by
deliberately delaying the competitive bidding scheme for eight
years.
The Government of India is the owner of Coal Blocks
4. In accordance with the Coal Mines Nationalisation Act
1973, the ownership of coal blocks vest with the Government of
India. Coal mining can be done either by the Central Government,
or a corporation owned and managed by the Central Government
(like Coal India) or a Government Company i.e. a company in
which the Government has 51% share. Since 1993, Coal blocks
can also be given to non-government companies for "captive
purpose" which means that a company which gets a coal block
Coalgate Scam

can do mining only for producing "power", "Steel", "Cement" or

any other end use notified by the Government. Therefore, a private
company cannot use the coal for commercial purposes but can
mine it only for specified end use.
Mechanism of Allotment of Coal Block (Screening
Committee)
5. India has a very big coal reserve and as on 01/04/2011
the geological reserve of coal in the country stood at 2,85,863
million tonne. Coal is the most valuable and reliable source of
energy to the economy. More than half of the commercial energy
requirement in the country is met by coal. At present Coal India
Limited (A Govt of India undertaking) supplies more than 81% of
consumer needs in the country.
6. As the coal blocks belong to the Government of India
therefore the legal authority to allot it also vests only with the
Government of India. The State Governments neither own coal
blocks nor can allot it to any private entity. Even the state Electricity
Boards(or by any other name by which they are known), or other
public company like NTPC etc, all get coal blocks only after
allotment by the Government of India.
7. Screening Committee - Since 1993, the mechanism of
screening committee was followed to recommend for allotment of
coal block. This committee created by the Govt. of India is
presided over by the Secretary Coal, other officers of the Coal
Ministry, representatives of Ministries of Steel, Power, Industry
and Railway. It has also the representative of the State Governments
where the coal mine is situated.
8. Whenever any application was made for captive mines
the proper procedure was that the concerned ministry like Power
(for power plant), Steel (for steel plant) and Industry (for cement
plant) processes it first. The Screening committee is to follow set
criteria. The concerned ministries are meant to scrutinize the track
record of the applicant company, the techno-economic viability
of the project and its preparedness and assessment of coal

requirement in terms of quality and quantity etc and make their

recommendation to the screening committee.
9. However, the screening committee only recommends and
the final allotment is made when the Coal Minister, Govt. of India
puts his signature.
10. During the NDA regime and even prior to that coal blocks
were allotted to private parties only after ensuring that Coal India
Limited did not have any objection. In this way the work of
important public enterprise was not compromised. Further under
the NDA coal blocks were allotted to private parties after extensive
verification and objective assessment. The allotment of blocks to
many well known companies was also cancelled which did not
commence production within the prescribed period. It was for
this reason that between 1993-2005 only 70 blocks were allotted
(32 during NDA regime of 6 years) where as in between 20062009(just 3 years), 142 coal blocks were allotted hurriedly by
the UPA Government by deliberately delaying the competitive
bidding mechanism through auction. Even the obligation to take
no objection from Coal India was removed.
Initiative taken by the NDA Government for reform and
growth in the Coal and Electricity sector
11. The NDA Government headed by Shri Atal Bihari
Vajpayee undertook major initiative for reform in the coal and
electricity sector. The Coal Mine Nationalisation Amendment Bill,
2000 was brought before the Parliament which prescribed fair
and transparent condition for coal mining by private companies
like location and size of the mine and other condition to be
prescribed. After recommendation of the Standing Committee it is
pending before the Rajya Sabha for the last more than eight years
and the UPA Government has not taken any step on this bill.
12. The Electricity Act, 2003 was passed during the NDA
regime wherein far reaching changes were brought in the electricity
sector. For the first time generation of electricity was made a nonlicensed activity. This means that if anyone wanted only to generate

Coalgate Scam

Coalgate Scam

power for feeding it in to the national grid or other use either

through thermal or through non-conventional sources then there
was no need to take a license.
Demand for Coal blocks increased because of the above
law and also rise in coal price from 2004 onwards
13. Because of the above change in law the demand for coal
blocks increased because many players became interested in
establishing thermal based power plant because no license was
needed. Further from the year 2004 onwards coal price started
rising worldwide. It rose from 20-25 US $ per tonne to 130-150
US $ per tonne. Even in India the coal prices increased substantially
because of introduction of new mechanism like e-auction by Coal
India.
Concept of Coal Block allocation through competitive
bidding (Auction)
14. On 28/06/2004 the concept of allocation of captive coal
block through competitive bidding was first made public and on
16/07/2004 the Coal Secretary in a very comprehensive note
recorded that there is a substantial difference between the price
of coal supplied by the Coal India and coal produced through
captive mining and therefore there is a wind fall gain to the person
who gets a captive block. The bidding system will only tap part of
the wind fall profit for the public purpose.
Deliberate delay of eight years by the UPA Government in
non-finalisation of the competitive bidding scheme
15. The Scheme for competitive bidding for allocation of coal
block was fair and transparent and was in public interest as the
Government would have earned very good revenue. Instead of
quickly finalizing such a scheme the UPA Government deliberately
delayed it on one pre-text or the other. In fact a meeting was held
in the PMO on July 25, 2005 which was chaired by the Principal
Secretary of the Prime Minister Mr. T K A Nair where even the
PMO officials argued that a rational bidding process would ensure
that the cost of coal through competitive bidding route would be

less than the coal sourced from Coal India or imports. Even the
Coal Ministry insisted for bidding to prevent wind fall gains to
private parties. Yet with the approval of the PM a decision was
taken to continue with the screening committee because the law
will have to change.
16. The Law department gave an opinion in July, 2006 itself
that the screening committee route could be changed by a
government order itself providing for competitive bidding. Screening
committee is not a creation of law but has been constituted by an
administrative order only and this was easily possible. However,
after much delay the bill to amend the MMDR Act 1956 was
introduced on 17/10/2008 and passed finally and notified on 09/
09/2010. Again after a gap of more than one and half years the
rules were notified on 02/02/2012. It is evident that there was
deliberate delay by the Government at every stage to delay
competitive bidding.
17. In fact the MoS Coal Mr. Dashri Narayan Rao in a written
reply in the Lok Sabha on 28/11/2007 clearly stated that the
objection of some of the State Governments and others is clearly
misplaced and that through competitive bidding coal block
allocation will be done in a more transparent and objective manner.
He further stated that there will not be any increase in coal price
because of bidding when compared to notified price of CIL. Yet
five more years were taken in notifying the law and rules.
Deliberate delay in competitive bidding to favour chosen
private companies
18. The Government had a definite design in delaying the
competitive bidding mechanism because it wanted to favour
favourite private companies close to the establishment and the
Congress party or those who had made the party happy. It was
for this reason that in a very hurried manner in a short span of
three years as many as 142 coal blocks were allotted between
2006-09 through the screening committee in the most nontransparent and arbitrary manner as would be evident from

Coalgate Scam

Coalgate Scam

following:
(a) Out of the above 142 blocks as many as 70 blocks were
given to 145 private companies between 2006-09 (Just three
years). It was said that this is being done to increase power
production in the country but none of the companies have
started coal mining at all. This was confirmed by Coal
Minister Shri Prakash Jaiswal in reply to unstarred question
No. 1559 of Sh. Prakash Javadekar on 27/08/2012 in the
Rajya Sabha.
(b) These companies in fact got a wind fall because their share
prices went up very high as also their market worth. Some of
these companies earned 600-700 crore by off loading a part
of their shares.
(c) The CAG has itself noted that it is difficult to assess from the
proceeding of the screening committee as to how a particular
company was favoured? In many cases the screening
committee allotted one block to two three applicants who
were unknown and had not made any joint application or
had a joint venture.
(d) The CBI inquiry is discovering almost every day as to how
some companies deliberately fabricated documents to make
them eligible while some concealed the fact that they were
allotted many mines in the past. Some companies managed
to get five to six blocks by combining with companies floated
by political leaders close to Congress.
(e) The last meeting of the screening committee was held in the
year 2008 but in between 2009 to November 2011, 17 coal
blocks were further allotted to 36 private companies.
Evidently it was continued to be done even when the law has
been changed prescribing the competitive bidding mechanism.
In fact Shri Prakash Jaiswal became the Coal Minister on
May 28, 2009 and within two days he allotted four coal
blocks to nine private companies.

Political leaders close to the Congress who got coal blocks

19. (a) Mr. Subodh Kant Sahai, Union Minister managed to
get two coal blocks in favour of SKS Ispat and Power
limited with which his own brother Sudhir Sahai is
associated. He wrote a letter the Prime Minister on 05/02/
2008 to personally intervene and the very next day the PMO
(the PM was Coal Minister also) directed the Secretary
Coal for appropriate action. The coal block was allotted
thereafter with great speed.
(b) Mr. Vijay Darda, the Congress Member of the Rajya Sabha
along with his brother Maharashtra Education Minister
Rajendra Darda promoted a company JLD Yavatmal Energy
which got a captive coal block in Chhattisgarh despite not
being recommended by the Govt. of Chhattisgarh. This
company also concealed that it was granted coal block in
the past.
(c) The Abhijit Group promoted by Manoj Jaiswal having close
business linkage with Vijay Darda was allotted six coal
blocks with a lot of irregularities. Now it has come in public
domain that the coal minister Shri Prakash Jaiswal was
named as the final arbitrator in family dispute of Manoj
Jaiswal. The intimate link is very evident. In fact the document
further show that 26% share of AMR(the family company
of Manoj Jaiswal) are to be allotted free of cost to Lokmat
Group because the coal block was allotted because of its
effort and the balance 14% needs to be decided by Shri
Prakasji. This further confirms that there was rank
favouritism in the allocation of coal blocks.
(d) Companies promoted by Naveen Jindal Congress MP Lok
Sabha (Jindal Steel & Power Ltd.) got five coal blocks.
(e) IST Steel & Power promoted by the son of RJD Rajya
Sabha MP Prem Chand Gupta also got a coal block. Mr.
Gupta was also a Union Minister in UPA Government
earlier.

Coalgate Scam

Coalgate Scam

The Union Minister of States for Information & Broadcasting

S Jagathrakshakan of the DMK was the director along with
his family members in JR Power Generation Pvt. Ltd. It
was just a five day old company when it entered into an
MoU with Puducherry Industrial Promotion Development
Corporation and got a coal block in 2007.
(g) Vini Iron & Steel Udyog Ltd. owned by Vijay Joshi a very
close associate of Madhu Koda the former Chief Minister
of Jharkhand now in jail was also granted a coal block.
Earlier the Jharkhand Government headed by Arjun Munda
had strongly disapproved the claim of this company but
ones Mr. Madhu Koda became the Chief Minister with
Congress support he gave a favourable report and it was
granted a coal block. Mr. Joshi is also in jail in connection
with offences in which Mr. Madhu Koda is in jail.
(h) The brother of the former MoS Coal Mr. Santosh Bagrodia
got a hefty mining contract worth ` 23,000 crore. of the
NTPC and the claim of a PSU Singareni Collieries was
ignored. All this was done when Shri Bagrodia was MoS
Coal and the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was the
Cabinet Minister.
(i) The above are only by way of sample. The entire allocation
process was done with massive irregularities.
Dr. Manmohan Singh was also the Coal Minister when the
above allocations were made
20. It is to be remembered that the above allocations were
made when Dr. Manmohan Singh apart from being the Prime
Minister was also the Coal Minister. The other Minister of States,
Mr. Dashri Narayan Rao and Mr. Santosh Bagrodia also belonged
to Congress. The Screening Committee only recommends and
the final allotment is done only when the Coal Minister puts in his
signature. No investigation was made in the antecedents, credentials
and eligibility of most of the companies. No verification was even
made as to whether any serious attempt was being made by the

allottees to do coal mining or not.

21. Therefore the enthusiasm for competitive bidding was
just to alert friends and favourites to hurry up to get the coal blocks
because auction process was to be introduced. It was for this
reason that the entire screening committee proceeding was
reduced to a farce.
Efforts of BJP to bring this Scam to light
22. The BJP even before the CAG report was made public
has been demanding a probe in to this massive scam. The BJP
member from Lok Sabha Mr. Hansraj Ahir has been writing to
Dr. Manmohan Singh and other Minister for the last more than
four years complaining about massive irregularities. Similarly Shri
Prakash Javadekar and Mr. Hansraj Ahir apart from raising issue
in the Parliament also complained to the Central Vigilance
Commissioner about corruption in the misuse of free allotment of
coal blocks. Thereafter the CVC directed the CBI to undertake
investigation. The BJP therefore has been in the forefront of
exposing this corruption.
Completely wrong that the BJP ruled states opposed
competitive bidding
23. Coal is a major mineral and its ownership belongs to the
Govt. of India only as per the Coal Mines Nationalisation Act
1973. It is the Govt. of India only which has the authority to allot
coal blocks. Yet a cornered Congress is trying to transfer the blame
on non-Congress state Governments particularly the BJP ruled
states. This is totally wrong.
Chhattisgarh - The State is mineral rich and the Chief
Minister basically pointed out that while changing the policy for
competitive bidding consult the state Government, keep the
interest of Industries located there in mind and gives coal blocks
on a priority basis to public companies like Electricity Board etc
which supply power to poor as well. Further by his letter dated
2nd May, 2005 Dr. Raman Singh clearly wrote to the then MoS
Coal Dr. Dashri Narayan Rao that in case the Central

Coalgate Scam

(f)

Coalgate Scam

10

Government decides for the bidding route then a part of the coal
blocks must flow to the State Government. Since 2005 the
Chhattisgarh Government has not made any recommendation to
the Govt. of India. Many coal blocks in Chhattisgarh were
allotted to companies without any consultation or
recommendation of the State Government.
Rajasthan - Similarly the then Chief Minister Vashundhara
Raje was merely highlighting the impact the policy will have on the
State of Rajasthan. Her concern was that lignite mined in Rajasthan
would be used by successful bidders for outside. She has also
emphasized the need to give coal blocks on priority to the State
Electricity Boards. The BJP Chief Ministers were only highlighting
the interest of their states and not opposing the policy itself. There
was also opposition from other states like CPM ruled West Bengal
and Orissa but only the BJP States Government are being targeted
falsely. The Congress Government is entirely wrong because way
back on 28/11/2007, the then MoS Coal confirmed in the Lok
Sabha that competitive bidding is most transparent process and
all the objections against it are untenable.
Madhya Pradesh - While the UPA has pointed fingers at
Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan they have conveniently left out Madhya
Pradesh which actually conducted auction through the MP State
Mining Corporation for Six coal mines allotted to it by the
Government of India and earned huge profit running into thousands
of crores.
Hypocritical stand - Even otherwise the stand of the
Congress led UPA Govt. is hypocritical. Now it is so much
concerned about the view state Governments when BJP ruled
State Governments are frequently discriminated in allotment of
resources, funds, national highway, food grains and other
assistance. Bills passed by legislatures of many BJP State
Government have been detained in Delhi without any basis for
years togethers. It is forcing FDI in retail in spite of serious
objection by NDA Chief Ministers.

False allegation that "The State of Chhattisgarh favoured

BJP MP Mr Sancheti"
24. Like Madhya Pradesh the Chhattisgarh Mineral
Development Corporation (A Govt. Company) was also allotted
coal mine by the Govt. of India. However unlike the Central
Government the Chhattisgarh Government through a proper
competitive bidding selected SMS Infrastructure ltd. (the company
of Mr. Sancheti) as a joint venture wherein the corporation
remained major 51% partner. It earned huge profit in the bidding
and will also continue to get profit from the coal mined. Therefore
there is no comparison at all. This was done in 2008 when neither
Shri Nitin Gadkari was the BJP President nor Mr. Ajay Sancheti
a Member of Parliament.
What does the CAG report says?
25. The CAG has undertaken a comprehensive performance
audit of allocation of coal blocks and has found that it was done in
a very non-transparent manner. The audit also found that the though
the Government gave away coal blocks for free most companies
did not begin production at all. It further found that the Government
has failed to introduce the auction route though it could have done
so as early as 2006 causing tremendous loss to the public
exchequer. The CAG taking a very conservative estimate has
calculated a financial gain of rupees 1.86 lac crores approximately
to private parties in respect of 57 open cast mines only. If all the
mines of underground is also included it will rise further high.
Bogus theory of Zero loss
26. When the CAG pointed towards 1.76 lac crore. loss in
the 2G Scam the Ministers of the UPA Government claimed that
it was a case of zero loss. This theory was found to be bogus
when the CBI itself found corruption to the tune of thousands of
crores. Further in 2008 the base price of spectrum was fixed at
rupees 1658 cr. In the year 2012 the GoM headed by Mr.
Chidambaram has fixed the based price of 2G spectrum at rupees
14,000 crore. when the market condition in 2012 is much adverse

11

Coalgate Scam

Coalgate Scam

12

in comparison to 2008. With nine circles even on base price it

comes to 1.26 lacs crores and if a bidder gives a little higher price
it will cross two lac crore. The CAG was not wrong when it
determined the loss in 2G at Rs. 1.76 lac crore. Similarly when
the 3G Spectrum and wireless in loop was auctioned the Govt.
earned a huge profit of more than 1 lac crore exceeding the target.
27. Likewise coal blocks having coal worth lacs of crors have
been given free of cost to private companies. None of these came
in production. They will pay royalty only when they start
production. Even their small bank guarantee has not been encashed
because of no production within the stipulated period. The financial
worth of these companies went very high because of this bounty
being granted in the most non-transparent and partisan way. Some
of these companies are selling power at a very high cost exposing
the Government claim of cheap power. If a proper competitive
bidding is done the Government would easily earn much more
than 1.86 lac crores.
Issue of Debate in the Parliament
28. The Parliament is certainly the forum for debate but it is
also the most important institution in our democracy of
accountability. The BJP participated repeatedly in the debate on
the Common Wealth Games scam. The Prime Minister publically
assured the Parliament that a committee headed by Mr. Shunglu
former CAG has been set up and he will take action in the light of
its finding. The Committee seriously criticized the working of Sheila
Dixit Government in Delhi but no action was taken. The CBI has
not even filed charged sheet against Mr. Suresh Kalmadi. In case
of 2G when the CAG report went to the JPC the Congress
members behaved in the most un-parliamentary way when the
Secretary of the Prime Minister was sought to be summoned. In
the JPC also Congress members are creating difficulty in the
examination of the Prime Minster and the Finance Minister Mr.
Chidambaram. He has not been examined by the CBI where as
Mr. Jaswant Singh has been examined who has no role at all. Mr.

Chidambaram has serious involvement in the 2G spectrum pricing

determination. Therefore this Government wants to debate but
runs away from accountability and action.
29. The BJP itself proposed that without compromising its
demand of PM resignation it is willing for a debate if all the coal
blocks are cancelled particularly those given to the private companies
and independent probe ordered. This demand was supported by
nearly all the non-congress parties. Yet the Government did not
agree because many companies have given huge funds to the
Congress party and cancellation will create problem.
30. The BJP's position is very clear and demands straight:
(a) The Prime Minister must assume moral and political
responsibility for the coal scam. Having failed to do so
during the 2G scam, it is time for the Prime Minister to do
so in this case, where he was directly responsible. Unlike
previous scams, he cannot transfer the blame to a
scapegoat in his administration.
(b) All coal blocks allotted to private companies must be deallocated and put up for a fair auction.
(c) An independent probe like as SIT (Special Investigating
Team) should be conducted to unravel the true nature
and extent of the scam.
31. The PM himself held the portfolio for the Coal Ministry
during the relevant period. A Raja and Dayanidhi Maran rightly
resigned (though under pressure) their Ministerial positions once
the CBI's investigation of 2G began. Unfortunately, the same
standards don't seem to apply to the Prime Minister. The Prime
Minister's office is a sacred institution in Indian democracy. It
must be judged on standards higher and harsher than those that
would apply to other ministers. The Prime Minister has continued
to oversee scam after scam under his governance. This time, it
was Dr. Manmohan Singh himself who was responsible. There is
no one else to pass on the blame. The PM must assume
responsibility and resign forthwith.

Major scams by the

Congress led UPA Government

A brief look at the series of major scams that have hit the
Congress-led UPA government so far:
The cash-for-vote scam:
The opposition slammed the UPA government over WikiLeaks
cables revelations that the UPA -I paid some MPs to vote in favour
of the July 2008 trust vote on the Indo-US nuclear deal.
The 2G spectrum scam: (Rs. 1.76 lac crores)
The 2G licenses were issued in 2008, but the scam came to
public notice when the Income Tax department investigated political
lobbyist Niira Radia and the Supreme Court took Janata Party
president Subramaniam Swamy's complaints on record. The scam
rocked the UPA government, leading to the ouster of A. Raja as
communications minister and his subsequent jailing.
Black money: (Rs. 25 lac crores)
Hasan Ali Khan, a businessman charged with money
laundering, has reportedly $8 billion of unaccounted money stashed
in foreign bank accounts. The opposition BJP has accused Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh of being part of a 'conspiracy of silence'
in the matter.
Appointment of Chief Vigilance Commissioner P.J Thomas:
The appointment of P.J Thomas as the Chief Vigilance
Commissioner was quashed by the Supreme Court over a Kerala
15

Coalgate Scam

corruption scandal in which his name figures.

Thomas was selected by a three-member committee of Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh, Home Minister P. Chidambaram and
opposition leader Sushma Swaraj in September last year. Sushma
Swaraj had recorded a dissent note.
Adarsh society scam:
Adarsh Housing Society, a cooperative society in Mumbai,
was reserved for the war widows and veterans of the Kargil War.
However, the flats were allocated to bureaucrats, politicians and
army personnel who had nothing to do with the Kargil War.
The 31-floor high-rise is also alleged to have been built in
violation of environment rules. The scam led to the resignation of
Ashok Chavan as Maharashtra chief minister.
Devas-Antrix deal: (Rs. 2 lac crores)
The allocation of precious S-band spectrum without any
bidding to Devas Multimedia, a private firm, in a deal between
Antrix Corporation, the commercial wing of ISRO, led to a furore.
The government scrapped the controversial deal to avoid the loss
of Rs.2 lakh crore to the exchequer.
Commonwealth Games scam: (Rs. 70,000 crores)
Allegations of wrongdoing and corruption in the holding of
the Commonwealth Games last year rocked the government.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe has detected
irregularities in various areas like merchandising, catering, CWG
Village and accreditation. The agency has arrested officials of the
Games' Organising Committee on corruption and delays in the
construction of main Games' venues.
AND now Coal mines block allocation Scam (Coalgate) of
Rs. 1,86 lac crores.
