In Some Light On "Coal Discoveries" : Malaviya is the central political target of Subrahmanyam's letter — cast as a minister who has repeatedly announced fictitious mineral discoveries (gold in Orissa, sulphur in Kashmir, copper at Khetri, coking coal at Korba) for political effect rather than genuine geological reporting.

- "K. V. Subrahmanyam opens by recalling a decade-old announcement by K. D. Malaviya — then Secretary in the Ministry — of a gold belt in Orissa that proved to be a hoax" — opens the indictment with Malaviya's earliest false-discovery announcement
- "He then turns to Malaviya's more recent announcements: huge copper deposits at Khetri in Rajasthan compared favourably to Katanga and the Rhodesias, and, most damagingly, the 'discovery' of coking coal at Korba" — extends the pattern to Malaviya's recent and most damaging coal claim
