MAPUSA: Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte on Sunday accused the BJP government of shielding the accused involved in land grab scam at Porvorim.
“The BJP is acting like a washing machine where it is inducting those involved in the land grab scam and later designating them as their workers or giving ministerial berth”, Khaunte alleged.
Khaunte also accused the government machinery including Deputy Collector and local police inspector of supporting the land grab accused by refusing to take action against the complaints filed with them.
“When I was the Revenue Minister I had started taking action. Now, the BJP has got a new washing machine. We have seen that those who are booked for such kind of cases or involved in scams, are put in the BJP washing machine and are turned into their workers or given ministerial berths,” Khaunte claimed.
“Complaints were filed with the Deputy Collector giving details like survey number but district administration failed to take action within the time frame. Porvorim PI is also hand in glove with the criminals, which is clear from his actions as he refused to register the cases filed in land grab scam and take strict action”, Khaunte alleged.
“The PI is more interested in ensuring that those people who are indulged in scam go scot free, Khaunte charged.
