“Koyle ki dalali mein haath kaala”: BJP releases Episode 3 of ‘Congress Files’

New Delhi [India], April 4 (ANI): The BJP on Tuesday released the third episode of ‘Congress Files’, attacking the UPA government over the alleged coal scam worth Rs 1,86,000.

“You all must have heard the proverb ‘Koyle ki dalali mein haath kaala’. But it’s not just a proverb, it is also the truth. In the 2012 coal scam, it was not just the hands but also the face of the then UPA government that got blackened,” the BJP stated in the video.

The party alleged that coal , which is an important natural instrument in the economy, became a victim of corruption.

“When Manmohan Singh became the Prime Minister for the second time, he made many promises, However, during his tenure, instead of his promises, it was the corruption on his watch that made the headlines,” the BJP added in the video.

“During 2004-2009, about 100 companies were allocated coal mines without any auction violating the rules. This scam resulted in a loss of around Rs 1,86,000 for the country. The CAG had also pointed out the wrong allocation of coal mines,” the BJP stated.

“During 2004-2009, the Union Coal ministry was under former Jharkhand chief minister Shibu Soren and the Prime Minister himself. This scam not just resulted in economic loss to the country but also dented its image”.

The BJP posted the first episode of ‘Congress Files’ on Sunday titled ‘Congress means corruption’.

In the video, the ruling party alleged a scam of Rs 48,20,69,00,00,000 in the “70 years” of Congress rule.
