Pandurang Madkaikar, a former minister in Goa, has made explosive allegations about widespread corruption within the state government. He claimed that ministers are more focused on accumulating wealth than addressing the pressing issues facing the state. In a shocking revelation, Madkaikar stated that he personally had to pay between ₹15-20 lakh to a minister in order to get a single file processed, further emphasizing the scale of the alleged corruption.
According to Madkaikar, what is being passed off as corruption is, in fact, a systematic "loot" of state resources. His accusations suggest that government officials are exploiting their positions for personal gain, thereby betraying the trust of the people.
Madkaikar’s remarks come at a time of growing public dissatisfaction with the state administration. He emphasized that the people of Goa are fed up with the corruption and mismanagement, and he believes they will show their discontent by voting out the current leadership in the 2027 elections. His statements have ignited a renewed debate about transparency and accountability in Goa’s political landscape, prompting calls for greater scrutiny of the state's leadership.
