‘Goa CM Pramod Sawant and the BJP have become the slaves of casino owner,’ claims Sena
The Shiv Sena cranked up the pressure on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Government in Goa ahead of the Assembly election after the party backed Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik’s charges that he had allegedly witnessed rampant corruption within the Goa Government when he was its erstwhile Governor.
In a television interview, Mr. Malik, who had served as Goa’s Governor from November 2019 to August 2020, controversially alleged that he witnessed at first hand “corruption in everything the Goa Government was handling”, triggering off Opposition demands for Chief Minister Pramod Sawant's resignation.
The Shiv Sena, too, has joined the chorus by launching a blistering attack on Mr. Sawant and his BJP Government through an editorial in the party's mouthpiece Saamna.
