He said that all the tenders which are floated by the government are through CVC guidelines.
“The tendering is a very clear and open process. Vijai could have easily applied for the tender. There is no part or any place in the country that you can a Goan cannot participate,” Minister said.
It’s a competitive bidding process and hence the one who bids the highest gets the tender, he added.
“Vijai should not try to fool the people. the value of the property is measured when you build the building,” Khaunte said.
Speaking on Sunburn, Khaunte said that there is no request for holding Sunburn at Mopa.
