BJP’s Taleigao candidate Dattaprasad Madhukar Naik’s assets from 5 crores in 2012 have skyrocketed to over 65 crores in 2017. After Dattaprasad Naik’s defeat at the 2012 assembly elections he was politically rehabilitated as Chairman of Goa Electronic Ltd (GEL) by the then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar. Dattaprasad Naik along with his family has been immersed in the sale of duplicate liquor for years.
Dattaprasad Naik openly sells duplicate liquor at his two outlets ( Wine Palace) located behind the Directorate of Health Services in Panaji and also (Wine Palace) at Sapna Habitat on Chogm Road at Porvorim. Dattaprasad Naik’s father Madhukar Naik who is a veteran in duplicate liquor also runs an outlet (Royal Wines) very close to the Panaji Market near Geeta Bakery. The notorious credentials of all these outlets being known to the locals, they are visited only by flocks of tourists who are taken for a ride. During Manohar Parrikar’s first stint as Chief Minister these outlets were raided and they were penalized for selling duplicate adulterated liquor. Infact when Manohar Parrikar lost power on 2nd February 2005 Madhukar Naik and Dattaprasad Naik celebrated and jubilated in the city by bursting a load of crackers. Over the years the Naik family being involved in this illegal sale of duplicate liquor have conveniently moved around like chameleons from party to party to be in good books with every Chief Minister in power. Like bees they opportunely stayed glued to the King on the throne so that their Wine Palaces continued thriving uninterruptedly minting money on duplicate liquor. Now we need to know whether these assets in five years rose from 5 to 65 crores by selling spurious liquor or whether the money was minted at the Goa Electronic Ltd (GEL) where Dattaprasad Naik has been the Chairman over the last five years.
