Aam Aadmi Party on Monday claimed it has evidence of yet another health sector scam perpetrated under the BJP government in the Goa Medical College and Hospital in Bambolim.
AAP leader Adv Amit Palekar said during his visit to the GMC he saw candidates submitting recruitment-related documents to MTS staff while the dean and director
were absent.
Addressing media persons, Adv Palekar said, “I have video evidence of MTS staff collecting the necessary documents from the candidates. After they saw me taking video, everything was wrapped up in five minutes, and the corridor was deserted.”
“I will lodge a complaint with the DGP in this regard,” he added.
He poked fun at Sawant, saying that the GMC is currently run solely by the MTS staff. “I think Sawant should resign and appoint MTS personnel from Sattari who would do a better job than Sawant in running the state,” he chided.
Palekar had also alleged that no process had been followed during recruitment and that people had been appointed before appointment letters were issued.
He said, “The job scam is just the tip of the iceberg. This government is full of scams. The recruitment must be stopped in the department that comes under the Health Minister.”
He said that Sawant was afraid of the Health Minister, therefore has not set up an inquiry committee to investigate the matter.
He said, “AAP has made all preparations to send those involved in job scams to jail. Appropriate action will be taken depending on the evidence in the hands of AAP.”
“The BJP government is bringing infrastructure projects in the state with the intention of making money. If the BJP government is truly interested in improving the state, then it should do something in the health, electricity, and water sectors, which are lagging behind in providing smooth services to the people,” he added.
