Dasari in troubles with ex-Coal secretary

Tollywood filmmaker and former union minister Dasari Narayana Rao is in troubles again for his involvement in the Coal scam. Former coal secretary PC Parakh who made sensational comments on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh yesterday, has made shocking statements in his book Crusader or Conspirator? Coalgate and Other Truths which was released yesterday.

Parakh alleged that the UPA- I ministers Shibu Soren and Dasari demanded Rupees 50 Lakhs bribe from chairman cum managing director of Coal India, Shashi Kumar for his appointment as a regular CMD and Rs 10 lakh as a monthly pay-out. However Shashi refused to pay the ministers and so Shibu Siren appointed NK Sharma as CMD. But Prime Minister appointed Shashi Kumar as Mr. Soren stepped down from the ministry post to become the Chief Minister of Jharkhand.

Parakh wrote in his book that politician asking money for appointing CMDs of public sector is the most common thing. The book further added the Soren and Dasari private secretaries have met Shashi Kumar in a private dinner to convince him for the ministers' bribe demands.

We have to see how Dasari responds on it.
