Saradha-IRCTC deal: Gowda shuns comment as probe is on
New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda Monday declined to comment on the Saradha-IRCTC contract as CBI is already probing it. “CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) is probing. Further comments from me will be interference,” Gowda said, replying to the media persons here after presenting his ministry’s initiatives in the 100 days of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) regime. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) had entered into an agreement with a company of the chit fund-funded Saradha Group in 2010 regarding a tourism project when Mamata Banerjee headed the railway ministry.
