Kamat's PA, bodyguards in draft electoral list: BJP Demands probe into enumeration process BY HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, JAN 24 — The BJP has demanded a vigilance inquiry into the enumeration process carried out in Margao, alleging that the PA, bodyguards and friends of Power Minister Digambar Kamat from outside the constituency find a place in the draft electoral list. The Power Minister, however, refuted the allegations that these names were enrolled upon his interventions. "This is just an enrollment process. The Mamlatdar will verify and delete the names if found entered in two constituencies. I fail to understand why this sudden hue and cry", Kamat said. Addressing a press conference, BJP Margao unit President Chandan Nayak pointed out to several anomalies in the draft electoral roll released by the Election Commission. And, he alleged that these anomalies have been carried out upon instructions from the Power Minister Digambar Kamat. For instance, he said that name of Kamat's PA Velip Prakash, a resident of Quepem is figuring in part No 20 at serial No 67 of 30-Margao constituency. Similarly, he said that the name of Prabhu Neelesh and Adpaikar Jeetendra, both bodyguards of Kamat, but residents of Canacona and Madkai constituencies respectively figure in the draft electoral roll of Margao. Nayak further said that the name of Kamat's daughter, Kamat Deepali, who is now a resident of Panjim constituency, still features in the draft electoral roll of Margao constituency. -- May your God be with you.
