GFP questions choice of bank to pay salaries

Panaji: GFP has questioned the state government’s move to tie up with a private bank to disburse salaries to teachers of government-aided institutions. The party has asked the government to explain how the private lender was chosen as the banking partner for the Mukhyamantri Guru Dakshina Yojana.
GFP vice president Dilip Prabhudesai said that a BJP leader from Maharashtra could have played a role in Axis Bank’s selection.
“Let the government tell us why it has picked Axis Bank. We want to know why this bank is being favoured,” said Prabhudesai. “Does it have something to do with a BJP leader in the ruling side of the Maharashtra government, who was also appointed as the in charge for elections in Goa?”
