Panaji, Mar 1: Bharatiya Janata party (BJP), has asked the election commission of India to vacate the suspicious people living in various constituency who might double up as a bogus voters for March 3 polls.
Party’s spokesman in Goa Dr Wilfred Mesquita has communicated to the commission that 'people with unknown origin not linked to the constituency in which they stay should be asked to vacate.’
Goa has a tradition of having bogus voting which is executed through the voters who are usually 'hoarded’ at different places. The letter mentions that 'all the persons of unknown origin who are not in any way connected or linked to the constituency should be asked to vacate the areas.’
The party has also accused that the flying squads in the constituencies like Sanguem, Valpoi, Poriem and Cuncolim are non effective because of the connivance of local police with the ministers, contesting elections. Mesquita has demanded that central reserve police force should be deployed for the ministers with Z category so that the connivance does not exist. “Even the current batch of policemen with flying squads should be replaced by a new one,” he added.
Considering the volatile situation in few of the constituencies, the party has demanded that the constituencies of St Andre, Taleigao, Shiroda, Sanguem, Valpoi and Cuncolim should be declared sensitive. Central para military forces should be deployed in these constituencies and should also be activated, it further demands.
