Alleging financial irregularities in the disbursement of a tender for the operation of a public grievance redressal campaign by the West Bengal government, Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari on Friday said that it was case of serious fraud. The matter should be investigated by central investigation agencies, he added.
The State’s Personnel & Administrative Reform Department has recently launched a campaign named Sorasori Mukyamantri (Directly to the Chief Minister). According to the BJP leader, an earlier tender by the State’s Information and Technology Department for the same purpose was cancelled after a company was selected in the bidding.
“The Chief Minister got the earlier tender process cancelled because she wanted that the order had to be placed to a firm of her choice. That’s why she took the matters in her direct control this time,” Mr. Adhikari alleged, while speaking to journalists at the State Assembly.
