The BSNL is cooking up one lie after another to save its ‘political’ master, who reportedly arm-twisted the officials in granting WiMax franchise to a non-existent company.

First, the BSNL claimed that the franchisee short-listed for running WiMax operation in Chennai, West Bengal and Haryana and Himachal Pradesh was one Ampules (company). The news was widely reported in the media. When The Pioneer carried a report on Wednesday that this was a non-existent company, the BSNL came with a rejoinder, identifying the short-listed firm as Ampoules & Auto Private Limited of Kolkata.

In its rejoinder to The Pioneer, the BSNL’s Chennai unit said, “The company M/s Ampoules & Auto Private Limited, Kolkata, who has participated in the said tender is a registered firm under the Registrar of Companies, Government of India.” The signatory of the letter is AGM (Admn & Legal) of BSNL, Chennai unit.
