MONEY UNLEASED BY CONGRESS IN BY POLLS: BJP

PANJIM: Goa BJP on Tuesday alleged that the Congress used money power to influence voters during the Valpoi bypolls.  "We did not distribute money. But Congress candidate Vishwajit Rane distributed money to the voters. This is the only fear of ours," BJP Goa Unit General Secretary Govind Parvatkar told PTI.  Congress, on the other hand, promptly rubbished the charge.  Valpoi constituency went for by-poll on October 18 in which record 83 per cent voters exercised their right.

BJP's Santosh Aldoncar is pitted against Congress' Vishwajit Rane in this constituency.  "No one can predict the results because of excessive polling here. We have put in best efforts to get our candidate elected," Parvatkar said.
Meanwhile, Rane rubbished the allegations of use of money power. "People have voted for the development of the constituency. No one forced them or paid them to come and vote," he said. The counting for the by-poll will be held on October 21.  The mid-term election was necessitated in this constituency after Rane, an Independent Legislator, resigned from the state Legislative Assembly to join Congress. - PTI

    Is resigning as MLA and re-contesting election under Congress at taxpayer's cost 'DEVELOPMENT?'
    Is this what you've learned in schools and Colleges or with your so called G7(Ghaddum 7)?
    Anyone who voluntarily resigns as MLA should be debarred from contesting elections for life as he is not fit to represent the people, when he does not know to respect the hard earned tax payer's money. But our shameless governments will never do that because they are rogues and depend on rogues. It is for the people of Goa to wake up and not elect these rogues. It is for the people to realise that the prices of everything is soaring because the taxes, petrol, haftas, MLA salaries, etc. are increased.
