PANJIM: Condemning the statement of BJP President Sadanand Shet Tanavade that Michael Lobo made money out of loot during last Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) regime, Congress leader Amarnath Panjikar on Sunday said that rather speaking against Congress leaders the former should tell why beneficiaries of various schemes are not getting financial assistance and why allocation of portfolios to ministers were delayed.
Tanavade had accused that Congress had awarded the Leader of Opposition post to current Congress MLA Lobo as he had got money out of loot done during the last BJP government.
“I condemn the accusations of Tanavade. Does he want to say that Ministers in the past BJP government made corruption and again they will repeat the same? If yes then he should tell it to the people of Goa. But he should remember one thing that vigilant Congress will keep eye on each and every activity of this insensitive government,” said Panajikar, Chairman of Media Cell-Congress.
He questioned Tanavade, that why he kept mum during the last regime, if he knew that ministers were looting. “Who gave the right to Tanavade to speak about who will be office bearers of Congress and leader of opposition,” Panajikar questioned.
Panajikar pointed out that petrol prices are increasing every passing day, but Tanavade has failed to tell why his double engine government is supporting inflation.
“BJP is looting people by means of inflation and spending money on publicity of Modi. Why he failed to speak about this loot,” he questioned.
