PANAJI: A day after governor Satya Pal Malik criticised the government’s plan to build a new Raj Bhavan, Congress questioned whether the directions to build a new Raj Bhavan came from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah or a private businessman. State Congress president Girish Chodankar also demanded that the file notings for the new Raj Bhavan proposal should be put in public domain.
“The governor must instruct the chief minister to inform the people of Goa who first floated the idea of constructing a new Raj Bhavan,” Chodankar said.
Congress also said the state government has asked PWD to design deputy chief minister Chandrakant Kavlekar’s bungalow.
“The governor must call all the files pertaining to various projects pertaining to such wasteful capital expenditure and red flag them immediately,” he said.
The party wondered whether the economic revival committee had cleared the proposal for a new Raj Bhavan after the outbreak of the pandemic.
