Mota Maal

Rebuffing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s defence, the BJP on Monday further ramped up its offensive over Coalgate, with its leader in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj accusing the Congress of allocating coal mines in return for mega bribes.
“Mota maal mila hai Congress ko ( Congress got big bucks),” Swaraj said, escalating the confrontation which has jammed Parliament and triggered speculation that the monsoon session could be adjourned sine die.
Swaraj, along with Arun Jaitley, her counterpart in the Rajya Sabha, was responding to the Prime Minister’s 32-point statement, where he rejected the charge of resignation by denying any wrongdoing in the allocation of coal mines and disputing CAG’s estimate of gains for private players.
“Congress has got a fat sum from coal block allocation, that is why this delay (in amending the laws) was caused. My charge is that huge revenue was generated but it did not go to the government and went to the Congress,” Swaraj said.

Asked if BJP is alone on this issue as even its allies have indicated that they would like a debate in Parliament on the issue, Jaitley said, “We don’t stand alone. And on corruption even if we have to fight alone it would be majestic isolation. The support of the people is with us.”
Swaraj claimed, allies SAD, JD(U) and Shiv Sena were with BJP and even parties like AIADMK were supporting NDA on the demand for PM’s resignation.
BJP said, as minister in-charge of coal ministry, PM was morally responsible and he should step down.
