Guwahati, Aug 19 (IBNS): Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi dares Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal to find out from the Union Home Ministry as to who received kickbacks from the Louis Berger Company.
Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal alleged CM Tarun Gogoi’s involvement in the Louis Berger kickback episode.

Gogoi said that 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,” the Assam CM said.

Earlier, the Assam CM had ordered an CID inquiry into the alleged bribe scam after allegation of involvement of former minister and government officials in the scam.
