Dasari was the Minister of the State for Coal then. For the undue favours of Dasari, the companies made several investments in return to Dasari’s companies. However Dasari maintained that he had nothing to do with the scam as he just followed the instructions of the then Prime Minister who is the incharge of the Coal Ministry.
