AGARTALA, Sep 25 (TIWN): With a major blow ahead of Lok Sabha Election, Tripura BJP led State Govt has been found guilty for E-tender scam.

The scam was led by SCERT (State Council of Educational Research Unit) in July month, just at four months of the Govt formation. 

The scam is figured with Rs. 18 crore which has been intentionally done by SCERT. In July month, 2018 State Govt called for tender of Rs. 18 crores through "online" and "offline" process. But various companies including Kolkata based Swapna Printing Press's E-tender was cancelled without showing any proper reason from the Govt. 

Swapna Press had submitted in both offline and online method for the tender, whereas while filing online State Govt didn't keep any "option" for submitting license of the factory whereas in offline the factory license was submitted and also one received copy was taken by the mentioned press. 

But state govt rejected the tender saying "Why E-Tender was not submitted with Factory-license?" 

Moreover SCERT also opened the bid on August 31st, whereas before two months opening the bid is illegal.

On that ground High Court has directed Govt that Swapna Printing Press will get the tender as it has offered the lowest rate. 

In 6 months, even though Biplab Deb's Govt could not do anything good for Tripura calling the Govt body as a "little infant", but the infant is now expert in scams as another roadway scam was exposed by Congress leader Gopal Roy where Rs. 10,000 crores embezzlement has been alleged and the project was handedover to NHIDCL without any tender.
