MARGAO
The Congress has said the act of the Chief Minister Pramod Sawant of calling government officers to the Margao BJP office is clear violation of Model Code of Conduct.
Congress Margao block President Gopal Naik has demanded that the Chief Minister must come clean and make public the number of Goans who got government jobs after the Zilla Panchayat elections.
He was reacting to the visit of the Chief Minister to BJP’s South Goa District office and his meetings with various sections of the society in the official capacity as the Chief Minister and reiterating his promise of giving 10,000 jobs.
“How can the Chief Minister call all those people who had taken his appointment of Official Capacity to BJP Office,” questioned Gopal and demanded that SEC must act against Pramod Sawant.
“We condemn the high handedness of Pramod Sawant for pressurising the government officers to remain present in the BJP office. The excuse given by the Chief Minister that he shifted the venue of his “Janata Darbar” from South Goa District Collectorate office to BJP District Office due to Model Code of Conduct in force exposes his intellectual bankruptcy and lack of knowledge in administration,” Gopal charged.
He said the Chief Minister’s statement has vindicated the charge of the Congress Party that BJP considers itself above the Constitution of India said Gopal Naik.
“The BJP has mastered the art of luring the voters with “Fake Promises” and “Jumlas”. We dare the Chief Minister to make public how many government jobs are given to the youths of Goa after his announcement of 10,000 government jobs during the Zilla Panchayat Elections,” he said, adding ‘It is unfortunate that the bankrupt BJP government has not paid monthly pensions to various beneficiaries for last 6 months”.
Saying that the High Court had to intervene and give orders to the Government to clear the outstanding dues of pension to Persons with Disabilities, he said this exposes the true face of the insensitive BJP Government.
“We now want to see what action the State Election Commission takes against the Chief Minister for clear violation of Model Code of Conduct,” Gopal added.
