Panaji (Goa) [India], December 12 (ANI): Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant criticised Aam Aadmi Party for levelling false allegations against him and his wife, and said that he will file a defamation case.
"The person who is on bail and has put allegations against me and my wife - I'll file a defamation suit against him and he will have to answer in the court," Sawant told ANI on Wednesday without naming AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, who had levelled allegations against "Chief Minister Pramod Sawant's wife, his ministers, and their close associates."
Sawant said that the AAP MP has a "habit of making false allegations."
"The MP of the Aam Aadmi Party was in jail for two years in excise scam. He is out on bail now. He has a habit of making false allegations against people," Sawant said.
Earlier on December 5, Singh, alongside AAP Goa President Amit Palekar in the national capital, alleged that the BJP engaged in large-scale corruption in job recruitment.
"Goa's youth are struggling to find jobs.... Over the past ten years, the BJP government in Goa has turned employment into a tool of corruption. Jobs have been sold in exchange for bribes, and this malpractice reaches the highest echelons, involving not just ordinary individuals but even Chief Minister Pramod Sawant's wife, his ministers, and their close associates."
Sawant further informed that he has also directed various officials to take action against any officers who are involved in any way with a cash-for-jobs scam, with multiple people already being sent to jail regarding the scam.
"If someone has given money for the job, I have asked officials to take action against those people. 25-30 people have been already sent to jail...We have also suspended the government officials who were involved in such practices," CM Sawant said. (ANI)
