Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Goa Chief Amit Palekar has alleged that a Rs 100 crore contract for upcoming National Games was rigged.
Palekar said that the entire tender process was rigged and biased to award at 20 per cent higher rate to one particular firm with less experience.
“And here it is! Government proves us right by making Thomas Cook as L1 for tender of National Games for Rs110 crores over experienced bidder who quoted Rs 92 cr,” Palekar tweeted.
He said that the entire process was rigged and biased to award the tender at a 20 per cent higher rate when the experienced bidder is better than Thomas Cook who have no hotels, transport fleet or catering experience.
“This has been done at the cost of taxpayers' hard earned money when the same money could have been used for betterment of sports facilities in Goa. Question is why choose a less experienced party at a higher price? Well well we all know the answer right!!,” he tweeted further.
