Assam CM Has Used His Influence To Help His Wife’s Firm Get The Subsidy: Gaurav Gogoi
In his letter, Gaurav Gogoi said that the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has allocated Rs 10 crore to M/S Pride East Entertainments Private Limited, the promoter of which is Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, the wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
He added that this is a gross injustice to the many small and medium entrepreneurs, and companies with vast experience in food processing in Assam, who have been ignored.
Further, Gogoi alleged that CM Sarma has used his influence to help his wife’s firm get the subsidy. He urged PM Modi to intervene in the matter and ensure that the subsidy is given to genuine beneficiaries.
