CANACONA
Goa Forward Party leader Vikas Bhagat said the Canacona BJP Mandal’s petition to the police seeking an impartial probe into allegations that a local panchayat member attempted to broker a compromise to protect the accused in the alleged sexual assault of a four-year-old girl at Shristhal, Canacona, was ironic.
“What an irony of BJP’s so-called ‘Triple Engine Government’! The sarpanch is from the BJP, the Canacona MLA and Minister is from the BJP, and both the State and Central Governments are ruled by the BJP. Yet, the Canacona BJP Mandal has to submit a memorandum to the Police Inspector seeking strict action over an alleged attempt to broker a compromise in a serious assault case involving a four-year-old girl,” Bhagat stated in a social media post.
“If your own party is in power from Delhi to Goa to the panchayat level, whom exactly are you protesting against? The Opposition or your own government? BJP workers should be ashamed of this situation.
“A Triple Engine Government that cannot even keep its own party workers satisfied is nothing but a political embarrassment!”
