Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar had earlier today said he will demand a CBI inquiry into the allegations.
US firm Louis Berger has been charged with bribing Indian officials for several crores to win two major water developmental projects in Goa and Guwahati.
"Since the work was related to JAICA (Japan International funding project), then PWD Minister might be involved, but moreover since it is dealing with the financial approval for the project, there is likelihood that one more minister may be involved," Parrikar said, addressing BJP workers in Goa's Margao town today.
An inquiry by CBI into the entire episode will reveal the truth behind the bribery, he said.

Meanwhile, CM Parsekar told reporters here this morning that, "Since it is an international matter, Goa police can't investigate it. That is why the government has decided to write to Prime Minister and Union Home Minister demanding a CBI inquiry into it. Truth should be revealed to the people."
"When the contracts were awarded, Congress leader Digambar Kamat was the Chief Minister and Churchill Alemao was Public Works Department Minister. Now it should be revealed which minister took the bribe," Parsekar said.
