PM could have thrown me away, if I was wrong: Former Coal minister

“Whenever he wanted some new things to be introduced, there were certain problems, practical problems. So I had to point out those problems. I put it to the Prime Minister or to the Cabinet Minister. So if these problems were not right problems then immediately the minister could have taken a decision.

“Suppose if I am wrong, the Prime Minister could have throw me away. Why he did not do it?,” he asked.

He said there are agencies who can question any decision made by him or the Prime Minister with regard to coal ministry.

“Prime Minister's decision is final decision as per the government's order. If somebody wants to question it, there are the organisations or agencies.

“They have to take decision whether we have discussed these (practical problems on implementing Parakh's decision) things with the higher ups or not. Prime Minister is the final authority (for any decision),” said Rao.
