Congress demands inquiry into Amit Shah's 'illegal' BJP meeting at Goa airport

BJP president Amit Shah and Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar besides other BJP Ministers and MLAs were present in the meeting.

Panaji, July 02 : The Goa Congress attacked the BJP for holding a public meeting of party president Amit Shah at the airport complex on Saturday saying it was a "gross abuse of power".

"We strongly condemn the act of the BJP holding a meeting at the Goa airport complex which was addressed by their president Amit Shah in the presence of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar," a Congress leader said.

Terming this as a complete abuse of power by the 'intoxicated BJP', the Congress has accused the saffron party of having 'lost all sense of good governance.'

The Congress Party has demanded a thorough inquiry into this very unprecedented and unacceptable abuse of power.

Terming this a "total and complete abuse of power", All India Congress Committee secretary Girish Chodankar said that the BJP has not set a right example of good governance by this act.

Chodankar demanded the officials of the Airport Authority of India (AAI) who allowed the meeting to be held at the airport complex be investigated.

Shah, who is on a two-day visit to the coastal state, was accorded a warm welcome outside the airport where he addressed party workers.
