A week ahead of the results to the 40-seat Goa Assembly election, the Goa Congress has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of tapping the phones of senior Congress leaders while claiming that the BJP is resorting to underhand tactics as it knew it would lose the election.
Pradesh Congress chief Girish Chodankar, speaking to reporters in Panaji, hit out at the Pramod Sawant-led BJP government for “misusing power” and snooping on the Congress leaders, including Assembly leader Digambar Kamat.
“The BJP is baffled by the voting trend which clearly shows that the saffron party will be sent home. So, it has hired an agency to hack the phones of the Congress leaders to find a way to come to power illegally,” alleged Mr. Chodankar, urging authorities to probe the matter and take suitable action.
