BJP seeks PM's resignation over coal block allocation

Attorney General G.E. Vahanvati told a bench headed by Justice R.M. Lodha that the court's views on de-allocation were under the government's consideration.

The allocation under scanner concerns 32 coal blocks allocated after 2006 to private companies by the screening committee of the coal ministry.

"We are also raising a question why the Central Bureau of Investigation was silent on two ministers of state and officials in the Prime Minister's Office because a loot has happened... it means there are many partners in it," Javadekar added.
