Environment Minister Nilesh Cabral slammed reports of a “job scam” speculated against him. “Let anyone come forward and prove it, I will resign even as an MLA, and I am firm about it”, he charged.
Cabral stated that he had scrapped those posts when there were irregularities detected, and the vacancies were re-advertised.
However, Cabral was quick to add that he was not told by anyone to resign as a minster. “I have not done any corruption or scam, let the CM tell me”, Cabral added.
Speculations were doing the rounds that Cabral would be asked to step down over the “PWD job scam” to make way for Nuvem MLA Aleixo Sequeira.
Earlier this year, the Congress alleged a Rs 70 crore “cash for job scam” in the PWD.
