He was speaking about the two incidents reported in Panaji on Wednesday involving former Panaji BJP MLA Siddharth Kuncalienkar. Speaking to the media at Congress House, Chodankar stated, "BJP should submit the documents it claims to possess. We have not done anything wrong and are open to scrutiny.

"What Kuncalienkar has done on polling day to Congress and Goa Suraksha Manch party members is not a small offence and is highly objectionable," Chodankar sought to point out.
