Assam CM Tarun Gogoi says he is open to any inquiry in Louis Berger case

GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Wednesday asked Union Minister of Sports Sarbananda Sonowal to find out from the home ministry who received kickbacks from Louis Berger Company in the Guwahati water supply project.

There are allegations that executives of US-based Louis Berger paid bribe to an Indian minister to win the consultancy job for water augmentation and sewerage projects in Assam and Goa.

Earlier, Sarbananda had alleged that Gogoi was involved in alleged scam.

Gogoi said he is open to any inquiry. "I will resign if my involvement is proved right and Sonowal should resign if his allegations are proved baseless," he said.
