Accusing BJP of spreading anarchy in the country on the coal block allocation issue, Coal Minister Mr Sriprakash Jaiswal recently said no one can force Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to resign till he enjoys the support of people.

He said the campaign launched against the UPA government on the CAG report has been inoppurtune and the discussion on the issue should be held in Parliament Public Accounts Committee.

He added that "There is a political conspiracy. BJP is trying to spread anarchy in the country. We know how to reply to this. Congress party workers are ready to reply to it. Our government and party are committed to uphold Constitution. BJP should have patience if they continue with this kind of agitation, they will never be able to come to power for long years."

Claiming that BJP has no right to seek the resignation of the Prime Minister, Mr Jaiswal said Mr Singh was only following a policy that was pursued by the NDA regime. He said that "No one can force the Prime Minister to resign as far as he enjoys majority, as far as he has the support of the people, adding why they were not seeking resignation of Chief Ministers in BJP-ruled states which were named in the report.”

The CAG report on coal allocation had pegged a loss of INR 1.86 lakh crore in the allocation of coal blocks without bidding.
