“I have nothing for myself, everything for the party”: GPCC President Amit Patkar showcases zero personal income for 2025-26

Amit Patkar, GPCC President, said he has given up everything to strengthen the Congress party. He stressed that elected officials should present their balance sheets annually to the public, not just during elections. Normally, politicians’ wealth grows after entering politics, but Patkar’s balance sheet for 2025-26 is zero, with no personal income. He said this demonstrates his commitment to the party over personal gain. Transparency and accountability, he noted, are essential for public trust. Amid growing scrutiny of politicians’ finances, Patkar reaffirmed his dedication to serving Goa selflessly and upholding the values of the Congress party, insisting that his example should inspire other leaders to prioritise public service over personal benefit.
