Every scam carries its own Identity. Recent 206 crore procurement scam in women and child department of Maharashtra has become infamous has “Chikki Scam” . Chikki being major portion of procurement this scam deserves to be named after “chikki”. But in this entire journey of malpractices and corruption Chikki is not alone. Ayuvedic biscuits, hand made paper, steel plates, sprinkles, protein powder, books, growth monitoring machines and plastic mats are also accompanying it. However documents reveal that these contractors are no separate from each other but are stooges of one kingpin. Now it is up to the government to find out who is that culprit.

It seems that this business of siphoning public money was going on in WCD since last many years. They wait for money to be allotted under integrated child Development Scheme ( ICDS ) and then distribute money amongst themselves.

See the cell number on chikki wrapper

If we look at the entire procurement procedure of this 206 crore scam one can easily come to the conclusion that this racket was being run in Mantralay corridors since last many years. There is reason to believe this theory. Of this entire procurement scam most of the suppliers were not manufacturers, they were so called distributors, The factories shown for obtaining orders were either closed long back or did not exist at all. Email ids given on rate contract do not work at all. In none of the entire documents of industry department, DGS%D or WCD there were names of the owner or managers .In many cases it was impossible to receive communication by post because of distance and short period for compliance of certain things. That means somebody on behalf of all these contractors and suppliers was completing necessary procedures in WCD and Industry departments.

Pls see the cell number of this water purifier supplier in2015

Now there is another proof to believe that all these contractors and suppliers are connected to each other. If you look carefully at the rajgira chikki wrapper, you will notice its consumer care cell no 9823322798.

Now see the cell number of same company for water purifier

Now what can be connection of Suryakanta mahila sahakari audyogik sanstha the manufacturer of chikki with Everest industries the water purifier supplier in aurangabad? . but you will find same number in industry departments communication with Everest industries this year for water purifiers and last year also for supply of plastic mats.That can not be coincidence. That means somebody is running this racket and all the so called suppliers and contractors are pawns.

If investigated properly this cam may take toll of guilty contractors along with several present and former officers and ministers.
