PANAJI: Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao has criticised the BJP-led Goa government over the latest National Crime Records Bureau figures, alleging that the data reflects a serious collapse in law and order across the state.
Alemao stated that despite repeated claims by the government regarding crime detection and policing efficiency, the NCRB report paints a contrasting picture, with the conviction rate in 2024 remaining at only 17.1 per cent.
He also expressed concern over Goa recording the highest rape rate in the country during 2024, saying the figures have raised serious questions about public safety and policing standards in the state.
The Leader of Opposition alleged that the growing disconnect between law enforcement and the public has weakened confidence in the system. He claimed there is a pressing need for stricter monitoring of officials and stronger action against corruption and alleged links between criminal elements and certain authorities.
Alemao further accused the government of failing to ensure a secure atmosphere for both residents and tourists visiting Goa. He questioned why the administration continues to highlight selective statistics while remaining silent on NCRB findings that reflect rising concerns over crime and convictions in the state.
