Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar’s brother in law Dilip Malvankar who is an officer with the Goa Industrial Development Corporation has been arrested yesterday by the Anti- Corruption Branch after being caught red handed accepting a bribe of Rs 50000.
For the Goa Police to be able to fairly and fearlessly investigate and prosecute this case it is imperative that Laxmikant Parsekar should step down as Chief Minister or at least not continue with the Home portfolio as the police will be constrained to subtly hush up the case for the fear of facing retribution and wrath at the hands of the Chief Minister. And ironically to charge sheet this case the police would require the sanction of the Chief Minister himself. In 2012 the BJP rode to Power in Goa on a very fake promise of Good Governance and Zero Tolerance to Corruption. But the rampant Corruption is there for all to see. Goa has deliberately been kept without a State Information Commission and no Lokayukta. And with the virtual shutting down of the Goa CBI Court, the prosecution of Corruption cases has slowed down with it ending up now being Acche din for the corrupt.
