Allegations
against Subodh Kant Sahay (Congress leader )
In September 2012, it was revealed that Subodh Kant Sahay,
Tourism Minister in the UPA government sent a letter to prime minister Manmohan
Singh trying to persuade him for allocation of a coal block to a company, SKS
Ispat and Power which has Sudhir Sahay, his younger brother, as honorary
Executive Director. The letter was written on 5 February 2008. On the very next
day, Prime Minister's Office (PMO) sent a letter to the coal secretary on 6
February 2008, recommending allotment of coal blocks to the company. However,
Sahay denied these allegations, citing that the coal block was allocated to SKS
Ispat, where his brother was only an "honorary director"
Allegations
against Ajay Sancheti and his link with Nitin Gadkari (BJP)
Ajay Sancheti's SMS Infrastructure Ltd. was allegedly
allocated coal blocks in Chhattisgarh at low rates.
He is a BJP Rajya Sabha MP and is believed to be in close
relation with Nitin Gadkari. According to the CAG, the allocation of the coal
block to SMS Infrastructure Ltd. has caused a loss of Rs. 10 billion.
Allegations
against Vijay Darda and Rajendra Darda(Congress Education Minister Maharashtra)
Vijay Darda, a Congress MP and his brother Rajendra Darda,
the education minister of Maharashtra, have been accused of direct and active
involvement in the affairs of three
companies JLD Yavatmal Energy, JAS Infrastructure & Power Ltd., AMR Iron
& Steel Pvt. Ltd, which received coal blocks illegally by means of
inflating their financial statements and overriding the legal tender process.
Allegations
against Premchand Gupta(RJD-UPA Union Minister )
UPA
partner Rashtriya Janata Dal's leader Premchand
Gupta's sons' company, new in the steel business applied for a coal block
when Premchand Gupta was the Union minister for corporate affairs and secured
it about a month after his tenure ended along with that of his government.
The
company in question is IST Steel & Power – an associate company of the IST Group, which is owned and run by
Premchand Guptas two sons Mayur and Gaurav. IST Steel, along with cement majors
Gujarat Ambuja and Lafarge, was allocated the Dahegaon/Makardhokra IV block in
Maharashtra.
The
company, which applied for a block on 12 January 2007, and was awarded it on 17
June 2009, is sitting on reserves of 70.74 million tonnes. The reserves it
controls are more than the combined reserves held by much larger companies –
Gujarat Ambuja and Lafarge. Gupta, who belongs to the Rashtriya Janata Dal
headed by Bihar leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, was the minister of state for
corporate affairs in UPA-I when his party was a constituent of the Congress-led
coalition with 21 seats in Lok Sabha. However Mr Gupta maintains he had no
involvement in IST Steel and denies influencing the coal-block allocation
process.

Allegations against Naveen Jindal(Congress)
Congress.
MP, Naveen Jindal's Jindal Steel and Power got a coal field in February 2009
with reserves of 1500 million metric tones while the government-run Navratn
Coal India Ltd was refused.
On
27 February 2009, two private companies got huge coal blocks. Both the blocks
were in Orissa and while one was over 300 mega metric tones, the other was over
1500 mega metric tones. Combined worth of these blocks was well over Rs 2
trillion (short scale) and these blocks were meant for the liquification of
coal. One of these blocks was awarded to Jindal. Naveen Jindal's Jindal Steel
and Power was the company which was allotted the Talcher coal field in Angul in
Orissa in 2009,well after the self-imposed cut off date by the Centre on
allocation of coal blocks. The Opposition alleged that the Government violated
all norms to give him coal fields. Naveen Jindal, however, denied any
wrongdoing.[39][40]
On
15 September 2012, an Inter Ministerial Group (IMG) headed by Zohra Chatterji
(Additional Secretary in Coal Ministry) recommended cancellation of a block
allotted to JSW (Jindal Steel Works), a Jindal Group company.[41][42]On 11 June
2013, CBI has booked former Minister of State for Coal Dasari Narayan Rao and
Congress MP Naveen Jindal for alleged cheating, graft and criminal misconduct in its 12th FIR in the coal blocks
allocation scam.[4

Agarwalla is the son of P.K. Agarwalla, a former Rajya
Sabha member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
http://www.livemint.com/Politics/Bj43fcSRRLl8BDNZj5ghjK/CBI-registers-two-fresh-cases-in-coal-scam.html
The
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday registered two new cases
related to possible irregularities in coal block allocations.
Cases
have been registered against BLA Industries Pvt. Ltd and its managing director
Anup Agarwalla, Castron Technologies Ltd, Castron Mining Ltd, their directors
and some government officials, a CBI spokesperson said.
Agarwalla is the son of P.K. Agarwalla, a former Rajya Sabha member of
the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Incidentally,
Anup Agarwalla is also on the board of directors of Castron Mining
BLA
Industries was awarded the Gotitoria (West) and Gotitoria (East) coal blocks in
Madhya Pradesh on 21 June 1996 with geological reserves of 4.19 million tonnes
and 5.15 million tonnes of coal, respectively.
Castron
was awarded the Brahmhadiha block in Jharkhand on 1 September 1999 for the
production of iron and steel. This allocation was annulled in September 2012

By
that measure, the worth of three influential and politically connected families
—
Jindals, Jayaswals and Jajodias —
have rocketed by a whopping 2500% to 23000%
in
10 years starting March 2002. It cannot be a coincidence that firms owned by
these three families bagged 10% of all coal reserves allotted after the captive
mining sector was opened to private players in 1993. In the allocations,
Congress MP Naveen Jindal’s company, Jindal Steel and Power
(JSPL), emerged as the biggest beneficiary. It was allocated nine coal blocks
with geological reserves of 2.58 billion tonnes or 6% of the total reserves
allotted.
Jindal’s brother-in-law Sandeep Jajodia, the
promoter of Monnet Ispat and Energy Ltd, was allocated five with geological
reserves of 337 million tonnes or 0.78% of the total reserves allotted.
Nagpur-based Jayaswal family that operates two group companies — Jayaswal Neco and Abhijeet
Group (that has close links to Congress MP Vijay Darda) — was allocated 10 with
geological reserves of 923 million tonnes or 2.13% of the total reserves
allotted.
In
addition to this, Jindal and Jajodia own equity in other coal blocks that
brings up their total share.
However,
neither mentioned this was possible mainly because of the generous coal and
iron ore blocks JSPL benefited from.
For
proof, look at the fortunes of Naveen Jindal’s cousin, Sajjan Jindal, who bagged
just two coal blocks to Naveen’s nine.
Between
2005-2012, the market capitalisation of Sajjan’s company JSW Steel surged from Rs4,652
crore to Rs16,100 crore (up just 246%) against 1479% for Naveen’s
JSPL (Rs3,225 crore to Rs50,946 crore).
