Chandigarh, Dec. 11 -- Chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday said the money for the post deal is akin to floating a tender for Punjab, where whoever paid the highest would get the post. Mann said that while he was working to bring investment and the latest technology for the development of Punjab, some people were revealing rates for the posts of councillor, MLA, and CM. "Everyone acts according to their intentions," the CM said at a press conference he addressed here after returning from his 10-day foreign tour. Navjot Kaur had triggered a political row in the state Congress by claiming on Saturday that Rs.500 crore was needed for the chief minister's post. The Congress suspended her from its primary membership with immediate effect. Mann said that rates were being mentioned for various posts as if they were auctioned in a mandi (market). "This department for this amount, this ministry for that price, and this is the rate for the CM," he said in response to a query. Mann further stated that those who pay for the CM's post would never serve the people, as they would first recover their investment and then look for profit. "But people are wise; they do not choose this way. They know who is toiling for them." HTC...
