Goa mining scam: Cong not in hurry to take action
The party leadership has maintained it will take action only after their involvement is proved.
Panaji: With names of several Congress
leaders cropping up in connection with the multi-crore illegal
mining scam in Goa, the party leadership has maintained it
will take action only after their involvement is proved.
"There has to be something against the Congress leaders to prove their involvement," Congress Goa desk in-charge Jagmeet Singh Brar told reporters here today. "They will have to face probe if they are found to be involved (in the scam)," Brar stated.
The names of Chief Minister Digambar Kamat, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President Subhash Shirodkar, Urban Development Minister Joaquim Alemao, Congress legislators Sham Satardekar, Chandrakant Kavlekar and party leader Dinar Tarcar are doing the round ever since the scam came to light a few days ago. These leaders have denied any wrongdoing.
To a question, Brar maintained that Congress leaders found involved in illegal mining trade will be denied party ticket for the Goa Assembly polls due in mid-2012.
"We will definitely not allow persons facing serious allegations to contest polls," he said. Asked about poll preparations, the Congress leader said the first list of party candidates will be declared much in advance.
