PANAJI, July 19: Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today hinted that two former ministers might be involved in the alleged bribery case involving a US firm over a water developmental scheme in the state.
Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar had earlier today said he will demand a CBI inquiry into the allegations.
US firm Louis Berger has been charged with bribing Indian officials for several crores to win two major water developmental projects in Goa and Guwahati.
“Since the work was related to JAICA (Japan International funding project), then PWD Minister might be involved, but moreover since it is dealing with the financial approval for the project, there is likelihood that one more minister may be involved,” Parrikar said, addressing BJP workers in Goa’s Margao town today.
