It seems that there is no Ministry of the UPA II government, which is free from scam of thousands of crores of rupees. The latest is in the oil exploration. The CAG has slammed the Government favouring the private companies – Reliance Industries owned by Mukesh Ambani and Cairn India Limited.
As per reports published in the news media today, the CAG has pulled up the Oil Ministry for allowing the Reliance Industries Ltd. to violate the terms of contract with government in the case of Andhra offshore fields. In the same way it also favoured the Cairn India Limited in its operation in Rajasthan’s Barmer District.
These undue favours to the private sector companies have not only resulted in loss of thousands of crores of rupees to the nation, but have also discriminated against the public sector companies.
Which is the next minitry going to be under lens of either the CAG or the Supreme Court?
