16 'scams' that Narendra Modi doesn’t want LokAyukta to probe

A detailed list of '16 scams' that had allegedly taken place under the Modi government

1. Land for Nano plant at low rate: The state government allotted 1100 acres of
land to Tata Motors Ltd (TML) to set up the Nano plant near Sanand. The land was allotted allegedly at Rs900 per square metre while its market rate was around Rs10,000 per square metre. Simply put, the government gave Tata Motors total monetary benefit of Rs33,000 crore.

2. Land sold cheap to Adani Group: Land was allotted to Adani Group for the
Mundra Port & Mundra Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Re1 per square metre. This is grossly lower than the market rate. Cheap land for ind, not for airforce

3. The Gujarat government allotted 3,76,561 square metre of land to real estate developer K Raheja at Rs470 per square metre, while the South-West Air Command (SWAC) was asked to pay Rs1100 per square metre for 4,04,700 square metre land.

4. Agricultuure University land allotted for hotel State government allotted 65,000 square metres of land belonging to Navsari Agriculture University in Surat to Chatrala Indian Hotel Group for a hotel project despite objection from the institute. This deal was allegedly brokered by the chief minister through his office causing a loss of Rs 426 crore.

5. Border land for chemical firms: A huge plot of land near the Pakistan border was allotted to salt chemical companies said to be close to BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu.

6. Essar Group's encroachment: State government has allotted 2.08 lakh square metres of land to Essar Steel. Part of the disputed land is CRZ and forest land that cannot be allotted as per Supreme Court guidelines.

7. Land given to Bharat Hotel: Prime land was allotted to Bharat Hotels without auction on Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway in Ahmedabad. The company has been allotted 25,724 square metre land.

8. Corruption in allotment of lakes: State government, in 2008, awarded contracts
for fishing activities in 38 lakes without inviting any tenders; bidders were ready to pay Rs. 25 lakh per lake and given to L&T Larson & Toubro (L&T) was allotted 80 hectare land at Hazira at the rate of Re1 per square metre.

9. Land allotted to other industries: Instead of auctioning prime land in the major
cities of the state, the Gujarat government had allotted the land to some industries and industrialists who had signed MoUs in the five editions of VGGIS.

10. Cattle feed fraud: The Gujarat government had purchased cattle feed from a blacklisted company at Rs240 per 5kg whereas the market rate is just Rs120 to
Rs 140 per 5 kg.

11. Scam in Anganwadi centres: Two bidders apparently formed a cartel and bid
for supplying supplementary Nutrition Extruded Fortified Blended Food (EFBF) to Anganwadi centres of the state. One company bid for three zones, while the other for only two. Guidelines were violated, causing the state exchequer a loss of Rs. 92 crore.

12. GSPC: Despite an investment of Rs4933.50 crore, GSPC has been able to earn only Rs290 crore from the 13 out of 51 blocks of oil and gas discovered by
the company. Contractual relations of Geo-Global and GSPC deserve investigation since Geo-Global is to be hired for a higher fee, above profit-sharing.

13. Luxury aircraft used by CM: Instead of using commercial flights or state-
owned aircraft and helicopter, chief minister Narendra Modi had used private luxury aircraft for around 200 trips in five years. The cost had been borne by the beneficiary industries.

14. Rs500 crore SSY scam: The Rs6237.33 crore Sujalam Sufalam Yojana
(SSY) announced in 2003 was to be completed by 2005 but it is still not completed. Public accounts committee of Gujarat assembly unanimously prepared a report indicating a scam of overRs500 crore which was not tabled.

was purchased and sold in violation of all norms
by Indigold Refinery Ltd.
