A complaint has today been filed with the Chief Electoral Officer against a senior Goa Government officer Balkrishna S. Borkar for openly campaigning for the BJP. Balkrishna Borkar is the Managing Director of Goa Electronics Ltd which is a subsidiary of Economic Development Corporation, a Government of Goa Undertaking.
With the complaint also submitted is photographic evidence that Balkrishna Borkar on Friday 27th January was seen next to Panaji candidate Sidharth Kuncalienkar at the BJP campaign at Miramar Beach which was held from 6.45 am to 7.30 am where free breakfast was served. Stating that it was a matter of great concern that government employees including some senior officers are in blatant violation of law participating in the election campaigning for the 4th February Goa Assembly elections, in the complaint immediate action has been sought to direct that Balkrishna Borkar be forthwith suspended so that it acts as a deterrent to other officers venturing in violating the Model code of Conduct. It has also been stated that it is imperative to examine the records of the Goa Electronics Ltd to ascertain whether its funds are being diverted for such breakfast meetings, organized functions and freebies including logistical support like printing etc for the party candidates.
