The South Goa district Committee has challenged the BJP leaders to come on a tour of entire Goa to see the illegal activities across the State.In fact, the South Goa District Congress President Savio D’Silva has offered to organise the tour and show the criminal dens to the BJP leaders.
Addressing the media, the district Congress president has alleged that the BJP Government after coming to power has consistently supported the crime, drug, beggar, gambling, prostitution mafia in Goa. “BJP MLAs, Ministers and Office Bearers have openly admitted the rise in criminal activities in the State. Blind-folded BJP loudspeakers Anthony Barbosa, Sneha Bhagwat and others should open their eyes and see around before becoming their Master Dr Pramod Sawant’s voice,” charged South Goa District Congress President Savio D’Silva.
He said matka business is flourishing in Goa, touts and hawkers have taken over each and every beach in Goa, locals raided an illegal gambling den in Colva a few days back, fake Police roam freely in Vasco. Unfortunately, the Police Department under Chief Minister Pramod Sawant appears to be in deep slumber, stated Savio D’Silva.
“I want to know what happened to the investigation of the mysterious death of Siddhi Naik whose half-naked body was found on a beach in North Goa. Why the so-called efficient police under Home Minister Pramod Sawant closed the file?" questioned Goa Pradesh Mahila Congress President Beena Naik.
Beena has appealed to political novice Sneha Bhagwat to urge the Chief Minister to direct the Cyber Cell of the Police Department to make public the investigation report on how a pornographic video was circulated from the personal mobile of the then Minister.
Congress Leader Moreno Rebello said it was the Congress government which brought the underground Optic Fibre Cable Network to Goa as a Pilot Project gifted by then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh. “This network connectivity has reached each and every panchayat in Goa. Unfortunately, the BJP government after coming to power in 2012 did not take any steps to further expand the same in the villages. BJP is forcing mobile towers on the people to support the crony capitalists. It is a fact that BJP finished public sector undertaking BSNL," stated Moreno.
