PANAJI: The Goa Pradesh Congress Committee has demanded that the BJP Government immediately file an appeal against the acquittal of Mauvin Godinho and others in the multi-crore Power Scam case.
GPCC President Amit Patkar, in a letter to Chief Secretary Dr. V. Candavelou, said the acquittal reflects serious lapses in the prosecution as no proper evidence was effectively presented before the Court.
“This is not just about one case, it is about large-scale corruption, misuse of public resources and betrayal of public trust. Silence by the Government will set a dangerous precedent,” Patkar said.
He warned that if the Government fails to challenge the judgment and act against those responsible for the lapses, the Congress will be constrained to take legal recourse in the interest of justice and accountability.
“The BJP Government cannot shield its corrupt leaders and expect Goans to remain silent. Congress will continue to fight for transparency, justice and the rule of law,” Patkar asserted.
