According to the CAG report there has been loss of Rs 1.85 lakh crore in allocating coal blocks to private companies. This amount would have gone to the exchequer had there been competitive bidding. Recently we have heard of irregularity in spectrum allocation. There was loss of Rs 1.75 lakh crore due to want of competitive bidding. Looking at these problems we can say that all national properties should be handled and managed by Govt. agencies. Private companies should be eliminated. Coal, petroleum, metallic mines, spectrum should be handled by Govt. We should take the example of Railways. How it is taking care of passengers and goods. Railways would function better if there would not be poll politics. Private companies should handle consumer items only. When companies operate mines it is difficult to monitor how much they extract.and how much they evade tax. India is a democratic socialist republic. But we are deviating from this ideology. Extraction of minerals is not important but conserving them for future generation and saving the environment is more important.
