PANAJI: The Congress party and Goa Forward Party (GFP) alleged that the government has rigged the tender for the event management agency for the Purple Fest.
The two parties pointed out that one firm has already started work on the decor even though the government has yet to evaluate bids of the agencies that have shown interest.
The Congress party released a video of the outdoor decor being set up at the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) complex. In the video, a man is heard saying that the work is for the "Purple Fest -2023" which is being organised by the Social Welfare Department. As per the tender document, the Department of Information and Publicity is supposed to evaluate the various bids on Monday.
