Congress government had bought expensive coal- Minister Nagar
Minister Nagar blamed the Congress government for buying expensive coal. He said that due to the inability to start coal mining from the allotted coal blocks in the previous government, expensive coal was bought from other sources. The coal which cost Rs. 4000 per ton was bought as imported coal at the rate of Rs. 18 thousand per ton. This is why the burden of fuel surcharge is falling on the common people.
