Coal was nationalised as a precious national asset required for the country’s development especially to provide energy resources to the people. By an open market e-auction this objective would be negated. In any case such a decision cannot be taken unless the parliament enacts a legislation nullifying the 1973 Act.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The 1973 Act has already been considerably diluted by successive Central Governments from the Vajpayee led NDA government onwards when the right was given for captive power plants in specific sectors like power generation, steel, fertilizer and cement. These coal blocks were allocated under this dispensation. It has now been found that most of these coal blocks were not under production but were used as collaterals for raising capital and speculative profiteering through sale of coal for purposes other than the stipulated ones.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands that the government must implement the 1973 Act in right earnest. Coal India must be empowered to undertake all mining in the country and after allocating the resource for the public sector and state electricity boards for providing power to the people, the remaining may be sold in the open market for private corporates.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><p>&nbsp;</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/coal-block" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">coal block</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/supreme-court" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Supreme Court</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/ordinance" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">ordinance</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/privatisation" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Privatisation</a></div></div></div> Wed, 22 Oct 2014 06:45:43 +0000 murali 3791 at https://elections2014.cpim.org https://elections2014.cpim.org/content/coal-national-resource#comments Improper Comments of Judge https://elections2014.cpim.org/content/improper-comments-judge <div class="field field-name-field-social field-type-addthis field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style " addthis:title="Improper Comments of Judge - Communist Party of India (Marxist)" addthis:url="https://elections2014.cpim.org/content/improper-comments-judge"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_google_plusone" g:plusone:size="standard"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_facebook"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_twitter"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_email"></a> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=300" class="addthis_button_"></a> </div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="https://elections2014.cpim.org/sites/default/files/supreme%20court_1.jpg" width="300" height="200" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date field-type-date field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2014-08-03T00:00:00+05:30">Sunday, August 3, 2014</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><div align="right">August 3, 2014</div><div align="right">&nbsp;</div><div align="right">&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Press Statement</strong></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div align="center">&nbsp;</div><div>The views expressed by Supreme Court Justice A.R.
