Only in India: Former minister Khadse smells a rat in Maharashtra mantralaya

Corruption is about smelling a rat, but what if the rat is at the focus of corruption?

That's exactly what seems to have happened in Mumbai where a private company, Vinayak Co-operative Labour Organisation, that was hired by the Maharashtra government did a pretty good job in driving away the rodents from the state secretariat.

Apparantly, the contract showed that the company killed 3.19 lakh rats in just a week and got paid per rat.

Now, Former minister in Maharshtra government Eknath Khadse is alleging a 'Rodent Scam'. BJP leader Khadse has questioned how more than 3 lakh rats were killed in a week's time in Maharashtra state secretariat.
