The Coalgate conspiracy

Ever wondered why the "Coalgate" scam didn't generate adequate heat in Parliament and against the corruption of UPA government despite it being alleged that it as a six time bigger scam than its 2G counterpart which took the scalps of several political bigwigs?
The reason is that the state governments and the central government are both equally at fault in allocation of coal blocks. The entire allocation process is to be blamed. Allocation of coal blocks in India is done by the Central government when the state government, in whose geographical jurisdiction the coal mine is located, makes a recommendation for the same.
This is the reason that the Congress-led government has gotten away scot free this time. And I don't think that any political party has the balls to bring this issue to the forefront despite it being taken up by the largest newspaper in India, The Times of India.
