The question arises why the BJP leaders are immune to the rules of Vishwajit Rane? Are they permitted to carry out illegalities?
This clearly proves that while Voshwajit is trying to find faults from the Opposition politician, especially the Leader of Opposition, Michael Lobo, he is systematically ignoring the illegalities of his own party leaders.
In the last three months, he has made just one statement that he will create a buffer zone around all heritage and historical sites.
But what about the illegal srructure at heritage site in Old Go Me Rane? Have you even gone at that place to check whether the place is legal or illegal? Have you asked officers for the files yet? Or just becuase the illegality belings to BJP leader you want yo ignore it completely?
It is simply clear that the structure at the Old Goa heritage zone is illegal.
It has been 200 days since the heritage lovers, some of the older people, sat in protest at Old Goa against the illegal bungalow of BJP national leader Shaina NC’s husband.
Out of this these 200 days, the Vishwajit Rane has been at the helm of the Town and Country Planning for almost 100 days now, yet the cries of the people sitting in protest at Old Goa are yet to fall in his ears.
Rane has maintained several times that he wants to save Goa for posterity, and hence be it Michael Lobo or Mika Singh – no illegalities will be permitted.
He even went to see illegalities in several parts of the State with his team of officers, but one wonders why he has turned a blind eye to illegalities in Old Goa.

It is simply clear that the structure at the Old Goa heritage zone is illegal.
The evidence produced by Goemkarponn on few months ago reveals how the owners – Suvarna Suraj Lotlikar and Manish Munot, used their political power to get the permissions.
The investigations also revealed how the owners falsely used a picture of a heritage house in Pernem as an existing house in Old Goa.
Shockingly, after all this, the Conservation Committee gave permission for RECONSTRUCTION of the old house, which never existed.
Not only this, the Town and Country Planning, in a hurry, granted permission within 11 days after Conservation Committee approval.
There is enough evidence for the government to act if it wants to, but sadly, Mr Vishwajit Rane is sleeping over it for reasons best known to them.
Manish Munot is the husband of BJP national spokesperson Shaina NC, and Rane does not seem to be in the mood to upset the national leaders ahead of elections as he aspirws to become the Chidf Minister of Goa.
Of Course, the owners will go to court on demolition but let that happen. People and NGO’s have enough evidence to prove the illegality in a court of law.
Emotions are running high, people are sentimental on the issue, but Rane seems to be looking at it the other way round.
However, while doing so, Rane has not even once named the BJP leader Shaina NC for illegalities. Why?
People do not want to know who did it; they want the demolition of the structure. That’s it.
What more evidence does Rane need to demolish the structure? If he gives 10 p.c of the energy and time he spent on proving Michael Lobo as criminal, he would understand the illegalities at Old Goa.
Here we have given you the evidence. The ASI has clearly said the documents submitted are fake.
“In that document, there is a photograph of a house (copy enclosed). The applicant claims that the house in the photograph existed in survey number-4/1, village Ella, before it was destroyed by a storm in 1992.
However, this office received information that the house in the photograph exists in village Pernem, District North Goa.”
“During the inspection, it was found that the photograph submitted by the applicant is false, and the claim of the existence of the house in survey no. 4/1 of village Ella, before the year 1992 is fake,” ASI said.
