Congress on Tuesday
demanded action on the officials and persons responsible for registering bogus voters from outside the State in Porvorim constituency.
“Two days after the issue of 830 bogus registrations was out, no action has been taken by the administration. No one has been arrested till now. This raises doubt about the intention of the government,” alleged Goa Pradesh Congress chief spokesperson Sunil Kawthankar at a press conference on Tuesday.
Kawthankar also criticised the pollution control board decision to grant permission for coal handling to Jindal firm when the election code is in force.
He alleged that the decision will allow the coal handlers free hand to pollute Vasco area.
Kawthankar also raised the issue of alleged double standards of granting compensation for land acquisition.
“While the farmers who have lost their land for Mopa airport project have not got compensation, the government is very quick in compensating Subhash Shirodkar to the tune of Rs 3.30 crore for land acquired. This has exposed double standards of the government,” alleged Sunil
Kawthankar.
