BJP criticized over remarks on religious leaders

MARGAO

Condemning the irrelevant and unfounded allegations by BJP leaders against the religious heads, Margao Congress Block has charged the BJP with trying to camouflage its failures and miscalculations.

Margao Congress leader Savio Coutinho revealed that immediately after the polls, all the BJP heads of the 20 assembly constituencies of South Goa were given directions to count and verify only the number of Catholics and Muslims who had cast their votes.

Citing details of the various statements made by CM Pramod Sawant and BJP South Goa campaign in charge boasting about BJP’s victory in South Goa, Coutinho said that the BJP leaders were so confident in their formula for calculations of expected votes that the CM even declared that the exit poll results for South Goa were wrong.

Coutinho said that for over a year prior to the Lok Sabha elections, systematic campaigns were conducted to polarise and divide the people.
