With the Goa Government now under pressure to scrap the destructive Bhutani Sancoale project; one key BJP MLA/minister is very conspicuous by his silence on the matter is Panchayat Minister. The Sancoale panchayat then was controlled by his panel and the NOC was given by the then/earlier Deputy Sarpanch Girish Pillai, a very close associate of the minister. I do not think Girish would have taken this big step (issuing NOC to Bhutani within one day despite being given a letter with objections by concerned Sancoalkars) without an urgent instruction from the minister. It is very important that Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant investigate this nexus with Bhutani and come clean on his panchayat minister. Of course the minister himself can still speak on the same, if he wants to clarify anything; but if not then his continued silence will only confirm his Bhutani destructive/corrupt nexus.
