F ew high points of the Modi government's corruption as exposed by the CAG report:

Chief Minister's favourite Blue Chip company Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation has turned out to be an epicentre of corruption during Modi's tenure.

The CAG has observed that the company has suffered huge financial losses due to cost overrun at KG basin block where production has not commenced even after spending over Rs 7,000 crore (Rs 70 billion).

The CAG has observed that GSPC, with its consortium, submitted a bid for acquiring the KG block "without properly assessing related technical and financial issues."

As a result, it said, against the estimated drilling cost of $102.23 million and the total depth committed of 45,348 metres in the minimum work programme, the actual drilling cost incurred was $1302.88 million (Rs 5,920.27 crore) and the total depth drilled was of 77,395.07 metres.

"Way back in 2005, this propagandist chief minister had hastily announced that GSPC's KG basin block contained gas reserves over 20 TCF and production would begin within two years. Now, it stands established as the DGH (director general, hydro carbon) has certified that the KG basin block does not have more than 2 TCF gas reserves," Gohil said quoting the CAG report.
