Contractor - Politicians nexus exposed, Khadse - Shaina NC attended biscuit scam accused program, Maharashtra chikki Scam

Former chief minister and Congress leader Narayan Rane recently revealed that Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse had recommended the Sindhudurg based Suryakanta Mahila Audyogic Sanstha (SMASS) in 2012 for the procuring of chikki children of anganwadis. Rane’s revelation is actually confession of how all political parties’ years together are doing injustice towards malnourished children.

All the scammers in Maharashtra Mantralay have good relations with politicians .SMASS has been accused of Chikki scam in Maharashtra. The companies providing chikki, biscuits and other products to government of Maharashtra never introduced their products in open market.

Not only SMASS , Khadse and BJP leader Shaina NC had also attended a program arranged by another accused in this scam the ayurvedic biscuit provider to anganwadies.
Gowardhan ayur farma Pvt  Ltd (GAFPL)   was awarded contract of providing ayurvedic biscuits. Managing Director of GAFPL Bhagyashree Chounde also runs a NGO called Gowardhan Mahila Vikas Pratisthan (GMVP) .In may 2015 along with revenue minister Eknath Khadase BJP leader Shaiana N C also attended the program arranged by GMVP. This shows how the contractors who have a very close relation with politicos manage to get contracts violating all the rule, regulations and ethics.

Pankaja munde on 12 February 2015 ordered purchases of ayurvedic biscuits worth 95, 51,124/   .But very next day  it was increased to 5 crores  without any changes in number of beneficiaries. When order was passed not competitive bids were invited, rate contract with company was not in force, nor company had its own production unit. Even company didn’t have FSSAI license for any of its products. Company had applied for that but the file was closed for lack of some compliance from applicant. Later on these biscuits were found to be unsafe to eat. Food and drug authority revealed that acidity count was much higher than permissible count.


Though Rane has accused that Khadse recommended SMASS chikki Its first factory as per their website was inaugurated by Narayan Rane himself. It is also clear that when Rate fixation with SMASS was done Rane was minister of industries who reserved chikki to be purchased from SMASS only. This definitely shows the nexus between the contractors and politicians.
