"Maximum of the coal blocks which were given have not started functioning. The government should take legal advice and take corrective measures. As per our information Rupees three lakh crore could be saved," the BJP leader said.

He said that as far as issue of Delhi airport was concerned land was given in an "illegal manner" and the decision should be reviewed.

The national secretary said that a meeting of the 'expose corruption committee' of UP was held in which discussion was held on the status of corruption cases of Mayawati regime.

"The SP government has completed 150 days in the office and it should bring a status report before the people that what action has been taken against those involved in corruption," he said.

He demanded that Akhilesh Yadav government should issue the status report on September 15, the day it would complete six months in the office.

Three CAG reports on coal, power and aviation were tabled in the Rajya Sabha yesterday. The report on coal blocks allocations puts the presumptive loss at Rs 1.86 lakh crore.
