Porvorim: If political rumours are to be believed then Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to make inroads into Independent MLA Rohan Khaunte controlled Porvorim Assembly constituency riding on a tainted Sarpanch.
Sources in the constituency have confirmed that Succoro Panchayat Sarpanch Sandeep Vazarkar who has been one of the person under scanner for alleged Communidade land grab scam is on his way to BJP.
“The induction of Vazrekar along with others is scheduled this Sunday,” a source stated.
Vazrekar has been under scanner for alleged land grab of 7,975 square metres of land in Serula Communidade about this the issue was raised during recently held Assembly Session by Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco.
Along with Vazarkar, two other government officials — mamlatdar Ranjit Salgaonkar and Administrator Rohan Kaskar were also under scanner.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had assured on the floor of the House to investigate all the scams related to Communidade including Serula.
It was alleged that the land was transferred in the name of Vazrekar by forging signature of his father in the year 2017, when actually he had expired in the year 2005.
Now with BJP scheduled to induct Vazarkar in the partyfold, the questions are raised whether BJP is trying to purify the tainted leader through this action.
