Gujarat Congress filed a complaint with the CM and state vigilance commission in August 2026 alleging a ₹400-crore scam in SSNNL's Vallabhipur Branch Canal underground pipeline irrigation project in Bhavnagar district, citing an official CAG audit flagging large-scale irregularities.
On record
The official record states: "Not specified — allegations rest on a CAG report; no detailed government rebuttal found."
Filed as "Under scrutiny — project completed but contested" and dated to CAG report cited in 2026, this entry sits under the "₹400 crore" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- A ribbon-cutting photograph that aged faster than the structure.
- Maintenance records that exist in principle.
- A budget line that grew with the confidence of the project itself.
- A file number that outlived several transfer postings.
