After Modi’s green signal, CBI acts upon Mansukh Vasava’s complain on potential 8 lakh crore scam
Union Minister Mansukh Vasava was just another Lok Sabha MP elected from Bharuch, Gujarat when he wrote a letter to then Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh highlighting the financial malpractice and theft of national resources and revenue at 12 major Indian ports amounting to over Rs 8 lakh crore. Needless to say the Congress-led UPA government didn’t take action. But now when Vasava is minister of state in union government and Narendra Modi who described Vasava as ‘an honest MP’ during election campaign is Prime Minister, the anti-curruption branch of CBI has taken the issue in hand and started probe.
The anti-corruption branch of CBI has started the probe on 19 June into the case at Haldia port. CBI has asked the Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) to hand over around 35 to 40 important documents related to the cargo handling, shore operation, tendering and some other issues within a month or face action.
The CBI had lodged complaint against former and present chairman, deputy chairman of KoPT(Kolkata Port Trust) and directors of private handling agents in 2013 (SIR/ACB case no. 19), but had not received the required approval to conduct the probe by erstwhile Congress-led UPA government.
