South Goa MP Captain Viriato Fernandes has publicly supported Minister Govind Gaude’s recent comments on corruption, affirming that Gaude’s statements truthfully reflect the widespread issues within the current BJP-led government in Goa. Fernandes claims that corruption is pervasive across multiple government departments, with no official work being completed without bribery, indicating that such practices are deeply ingrained in the administration.
He further alleges that Minister Gaude is now facing backlash and potential disciplinary measures not because his allegations lack merit, but simply because he spoke openly about the ongoing corruption. Fernandes suggests that the political establishment is targeting Gaude to silence those exposing the government’s wrongdoings.
