A complaint has today been filed with the Panaji Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) seeking the immediate deletion of the name of Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar from the electoral roll of Panaji Assembly Constituency.
The complaint draws the attention of the ERO that the name of Manohar Parrikar had been fraudulently enrolled in the Panaji Assembly Constituency at Serial No 412 in Part No 8 showing his residential address as House No 157, Opposite Pharmacy College in Panaji. This is House No 157, Opposite Pharmacy College at Panaji which Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had falsely claimed and faked was his residence. That house is owned by the Naik family of which one son Uday runs a Restaurant, Hotel Uday, near Panaji Market on General Costa Alvares Road just opposite the old El dorado cinema theatre. Pointing out that Manohar Parrikar has never ever resided at that address, it has been alleged that Manohar Parrikar had fraudulently in connivance and collusion with the staff in the election office manipulated and managed to get his name illegally enrolled after making a false and misleading declaration. Seeking the deletion of Manohar Parrikar’s name from the Panaji electoral roll, it has also been demanded that legal proceedings for perjury amongst other offences be initiated against Manohar Parrikar, as making a false declaration was an offence punishable under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act 1950. Also sought is deterrent action against the staff in the election office who in connivance and collusion with Manohar Parrikar allowed his name to be illegally enrolled in the Panaji electoral roll on a fake residential address. A copy of the complaint has been sent to the Chief Election Commissioner of India and to Goa’s Chief Electoral Officer. The complaint is being investigated by Panaji Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) Mr. Naveen S.L an IAS officer who just last month has been posted in Goa as Panaji Deputy Collector.
