Hyderabad, August 18: Telugu Desam Parliamentary Floor Leader Nama Nageswara Rao on Saturday demanded that Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh resign from his post immediately owing moral responsibility for indictment of CAG in connection with allotment of coal blocks which caused a huge loss to the tune of Rs 1.86 lakh crore to the State's exchequer.
Talking to media persons at the NTR Trust Bhavan, Nageswara Rao demanded that the government order a judicial probe into the issue with the sitting judges of the Supreme Court. He said that the TDP would raise the issue in the monsoon session of Parliament and the proceedings would be stalled until the government agrees for a probe.
He said that the party would also expose the misdeeds of the Prime Minister in the UPA Government.
Stating that Dasari Narayana Rao worked as Minister of State for Coal from 2004-2009, he suspected the involvement of him in the scam. However, the concerned minister was claiming that he was not responsible for any irregularities in allotment of coal blocks, he pointed out.
