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.
