Saturday morning saw a new twist to the high-profile Sex Scandal involving a minister in the Dr Pramod Sawant cabinet.
The Sex Scandal, partly exposed by the Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Girish Chodankar, who stopped short of naming the Minister involved in the sex scandal and kept everyone guessing.
After denials by Chief Minister Sawant and the BJP State President Sadanand Shet Tanawade, who asked Chodankar to name the Minister or at least a complaint be filed against the Minister for action, on Thursday, Chodankar received a legal notice from a Mumbai-based legal company.
Two days after the legal notice, there is a new twist; today, an FIR has been registered at Mufassil police station. The woman has termed the Minister’s allegation of sexual abuse as wrong and called him one who supported him.
She claimed that it is said that a Congress leader from Goa had made a deal of 10 lakhs to make a video with him. 2 lakh was also given as advance. Made a video with 4 people. The woman has lodged an FIR against all the people who made the video.
In the FIR, the lady has named Yashwant Ghonasekar, Sanu alias Prajyot, local Congress leader Sankalp Amonkar, Damodar Divkar, and two unknown people have taken advantage of her helplessness. Video, audio and photo have been made to give the temptation of financial help.
While we know where the victim is from, nobody knows or instead, nobody wants to reveal the Minister’s name involved in the scandal.
However, looking at the names of the accused in the FIR, one is Congress Mormugao constituency candidate, who narrowly lost to Minister Milind Naik by about 136 votes in 2017, and the other accused are Amonkar’s supporters.
If all the accused are from Mormugao, one wonders whether the Minister is also from Mormugao taluka? That is the million-dollar question in everyone’s mind today.
Every MInister in Cabinet today wants the “Scandalist” minister to be named as it is tarnishing image of all of them. One Minister says, “we are all looked upon with suspicion”.
Secondly, by delaying action or investigation for more than 15 days after the said expose in a sex scandal, it looks like the Chief Minister and the BJP have given enough time for the Minister to tamper with the witness.
The lady, who claimed to be the victim in the first video, now suddenly changes and says she was forced and pressurised to change her statement.
There is every possibility that the all-powerful Minister may have used all his power and money to pressurise the victim to change her statement.
Also, the question arises why did the lady not file a case against the Congress leaders and social activists in Goa? Why did she have to go all the way to Bihar and file the complaint? She would have gotten enough support from the Govt and the Minister to file the complaint.
It is clear that some politician involved has sent her to Bihar so that she is away from the media glare, and knowing the media here, they would get everything out of her.
It is now very clear that both CM and BJP State president know well who the Minister is involved with but are protecting him as the naming could be detrimental to the party’s prospects in the forthcoming assembly polls.
