NEW DELHI: The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has forwarded a complaint from a CPI (M) Rajya Sabha MP alleging irregularities in the decision to award six airports to the Adani group to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA). The ministry is expected to look into the issue.
The letter by Elamaram Kareem alleges irregularities in the procedure followed during the award of the six AAI airports to Adani Enterprises. It says that ‘undue haste’ was shown by the government in this award. “It is evident from the records that the Ministry of Civil Aviation was in a spree to complete the transaction before 28.02.2019, rather than trying for getting a right price for our national Assets. It is worth to note that the same ministry granted extension of time to M/s Adani Enterprises from taking over of the Ahmedabad/Lucknow and Mangalore Airports for safeguarding the interest of private player during pandemic situation,” the letter says.
