BJP State President Damu Naik while speaking to reporters has said that his party has no role in financing or promoting any new political party and dismissed the Congress's claim that Rs 100 crore was being spent to float a new outfit aimed at splitting votes, especially in Salcete and South Goa.
Goans are not fools, they know which political party is getting scared to face the voters in the coming assembly elections. Yes, it is the BJP which is unsure of its own political future and due to which it must be doing all it can to fund a new political outfit with the sole intention of splitting the traditional Congress votes and forming its own government. Well, this is not something new for the BJP, and no matter what leaders like Damu Naik say on the above topic, its backstage leaders have indeed been propping up new political outfits, hiring some disgruntled minority community leaders just on the eve of every election. Naik should therefore stop denying the above allegations because they know that without funding a new political outfit they can never win enough seats from Salcete and form a government.
