MARGAO: Congress on Monday hit out against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia for his statement that AAP would carry forward Manohar Parrikar’s legacy of development, and accused AAP of being the “B team of BJP”.
Goa Pradesh Mahila Congress interim president Beena Shantaram Naik said Parrikar’s “entire tenure” as chief minister and defence minister was “full of corrupt administration, U-turns and politics of convenience.”
“It is now crystal clear that AAP which wants to carry forward his legacy is the B team of BJP. Cracks and potholes on Atal Setu is a living example of corrupt legacy of Manohar Parrikar. I urge Manish Sisodia and AAP to go through the corruption cases and irregularities which took place during former CM Parrikar’s tenure. Goa Lokayukta gave orders to the current BJP government to investigate 21 cases of irregularities, most of which were during Parrikar’s tenure,” Naik said in a press statement.
She also pointed out a list of “scams that happened during Parrikar’s regime” — cyberage, beach-cleaning, Panjim parking fee-collection, Smart City, Miramar-Dona Paula road, IFFI, Spaces building rent, SEZ promoters interest payment, garbage collection, etc.
Naik said, “The beginning of Goa moving towards financial emergency was after Parrikar took charge as chief minister in 2012. Today his chosen heir Pramod Sawant has pushed Goa into bankruptcy.”
