Goa Pradesh Mahila Congress interim President Beena Shantaram Naik has said the entire tenure of former Chief Minister and former Defence Minister, late Manohar Parrikar, was full of corruption, U-turns and politics of convenience.
She said it is now crystal clear that Aam Aadmi Party which wants to carry forward his legacy is the B team of the BJP. Cracks and potholes on Atal Setu are living example of the corrupt legacy of late Manohar Parrikar, charged Beena.
Reacting sharply to the statement made by Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia stating that they want to carry forward the so-called vision of development of late Parrikar, Beena said, “Today, on the 75th birth anniversary of my husband late Shantaram Naik who always remained committed to his ideology, principles and Congress party till his last breath, I urge Manish Sisodia and the Aam Aadmi Party to go through the corruption cases which took place during former CM Parrikar’s tenure. Goa Lokayukta has directed the current BJP government to investigate 21 cases of irregularities, most of which are during late Manohar Parrikar’s tenure, Beena stated.
The much-hyped Atal Setu developed cracks after few months of its opening to traffic. Two wings of the same bridge are yet to be commissioned, she pointed out.
Cyberage scam, beach cleaning scam, Panaji parking fee collection scam, Smart City scam, Miramar-Dona Paula road scam, IFFI scam, Spaces Building rent scam, SEZ promoters interest payment scam, garbage collection scam and various other scams happened during late Parrikar’s regime, she added.
She said AAP must realise that it was Parrikar who stopped mining in Goa with an ulterior motive of handing over the mines to the crony club of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. People of Goa will soon realise this, she added.
