The Prime Minister said the nation has earned over Rs 2 lakh crore from just auction of 20 mines and proceeds from the auction will be used for the development of coal producing states like Orissa and Jharkhand. Centre and State are equal partners in development, but States also have a responsibility to take up long term developmental projects and invest in them.. “That is why we have laid a special focus on cooperative federalism, he told the gathering.
