The Congress was quick to react to BJP’s “bag culture” statement which has led to a war of words between the two national parties in the State. The Opposition has hit out at the ruling party for purchasing MLAs from other parties in many States.
“The whole of Goa knows the “Bag Culture” of the Bharatiya Janata Party by which they imported MLAs from other parties to form illegitimate governments in many States,” charged GPCC Media Cell chairman Amarnath Panjikar.
The accusation has further led to personal attacks between Panjikar and Mulla. “People of Goa would like to know from Urfan Mulla, how many bags he carried of BJP general secretary B L Santosh? We want Urfan Mulla to inform the people of Goa, how many bags were presented to each imported MLA by BJP to stabilise the Government of defective Chief Minister Pramod Sawant,” Panjikar questioned.
“Congress is well aware of our way ahead and we don’t need to give explanation about our strategies to an imported spokesperson of BJP. Our AICC In-charge Dinesh Gundu Rao is a dedicated and loyal office bearer of the Congress whose integrity and honesty is impeccable. We strongly condemn the statement of the irresponsible new entrant in BJP Urfan Mulla on our AICC in-charge and demand an apology from him,” he demanded.
