Government appoints independent valuer to value Shashi Tharoor's wife
Ending the entire controversy on the real and fair valuation of Shashi Tharoor's wife Sunanda Pushkar, India's empowered Group of Ministers (e-GOM) appointed independent valuer KPMG.
According to sources, by introducing the independent agency in valuing the precious assets of India, the government wanted to show that it favours transparency.
"Yes actually, Indian government faced a nationwide rage after it appointed Haryana Government to value Robert Vadra's property's value. However, now it doesn't want to take any chance and gave the Pushkar's valuation job to KPMG's experts. They will check the asset value and will provide their report within a month," said a government official who wanted to be unquoted.
He said "Government is damn sure that Ms Pushkar is more than 50 crore rupees and after KPMG's valuation that would be confirmed."
He also told that a proper CAG audit will also be done on Sunanda Pushkar to make her value more sensible.
Shashi Tharoor also welcomed the step. He tweeted "Though I said she is priceless under emotions I believe in KPMG's process and will come to know her real value."
However, BCCI announced inquiry after Tharoor's tweet whether he made more than 50 crore from Kochi team.
Narendra Modi found quoting his PA "Idiots kahi ke."
