To facilitate the further doom and destruction of Goa, the BJP is desperately trying to bring their now ‘Yes man’ Parimal Rai as the next Chief Secretary of the State with the current ‘caged parrot’ incumbent due to retire this month end. The tainted Parimal Rai was named by the CBI in the 2010 Commonwealth Games Scam. Is this the Zero Tolerance to Corruption that the BJP has been professing about?
Parimal Rai who recently replaced Vijay Dev as the UT Adviser in Chandigarh is a flamboyant Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territories (AGMUT) cadre IAS officer of the 1985 batch who has been at the centre of a fair share of controversies while serving in Delhi.
As Chairman of the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) between 2007 and 2011, he was named by the Central Bureau of Investigation in its investigation of the 2010 Commonwealth Games scam in the construction of stadia. He was considered very close to Delhi’s former Congress Chief minister Sheila Dikshit, but the Narendra Modi government also declined the CBI permission to prosecute him.
Parimal Rai, who was the then NDMC Chairman was booked by the CBI in alleged irregularities in the construction of Convention Centre which allegedly caused a loss of Rs 15 crore to the exchequer.
