Fake gazette notification accused Motilal Gouda on Friday hit a bombshell when he stated that he is the victim of the dispute between two Ministers.
As such, about three Ministers of the Naveen Patnaik Government have been in the news for their patronage to Gouda in his corrupt activities.
“I have been a victim of the rivalry between two Ministers. I am being targeted,” Gouda told reporters here while being taken by police to the court.
However, he didn’t name the Ministers he was accusing of. Gouda maintains a good rapport with Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak, Arun Sahu and Puspendra Singh Deo.
Notably, Gouda had asked industries in the State to get the health check-ups of their staff done at one of the five ’empanelled’ pathology laboratories and allegedly received kickbacks worth over Rs 1 crore.
He has been suspended as Factories and Boilers Assistant Director.
