While associations and forums across the city celebrated Onam with payasam distribution and sumptuous ‘sadhyas’, the Bharatiya Janatha Party in the district has laid out a unique ‘Uthradam sadhya’ for its party members.
The ‘Uthradam Kalkari Sadhya’ was organised by the BJP in protest against the Coal Mining Scam.
The ‘sadhya’ saw BJP members donning the masks of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh serving other party members.
Inaugurating the event, BJP state president A N Radhakrishnan came down strongly against the Congress party.
“The loss to the public is valued to be Rs 1.86 lakh crore.
In a country where the majority of people can barely meet the basic requirements, such a scam is incomprehensible.
This is not the first time that such a scam is occurring.
From the inception of the current government, the number of scams have been going up.
But each time the Congress blames it on its allies or the other groups and continues to stay in power.
In the 2G scam the government blamed its ally the DMK, and now the state governments are being blamed for the allocation.
The responsibility is being shrugged off each time,” said the BJP leader.
The BJP challenged the Prime Minister to suspend the coal mining allocation.
“Opposition leader Sushma Swaraj has asked the Prime Minister to cancel the allocations and hold fresh competitive bidding.
The new bidding will bring out the correct value of the coals mines and the loss suffered by the government.
It would establish whether the CAG report is true or not.
But even though the Congress party has denied the CAG report, it is unwilling to go for a competitive bidding.
What is it that stops the government from going for the competitive bidding?” he asked.
