Goa Khabar: Congress has condemned the act of BJP government for freezing their 11 bank accounts\u00a0 ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
GPCC President Amit Patkar on Friday addressed a press conference in Congress House and slammed BJP for using undemocratic ways to stifle his party.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao, MP Francisco Sardinha, MLAs Carlos Alvares Ferreira and MLA Alton D’Costa and Ramakant Khalap were present.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Amit Patkar said that the accounts were frozen on an income tax demand of Rs 210 crore for the financial year 2018-\u201919.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe BJP has looted the donations given to the Congress party by the common public by freezing our accounts and forcibly withdrawing 115.32 crores from them. Election is nearing and we don\u2019t have money for campaigns, this is their agenda to restrain us from moving ahead. BJP is afraid because they are losing,\u201d Patkar said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said that no political party, including the BJP, pays Income Tax, yet the Congress party\u2019s 11 Bank Accounts were frozen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBy this act it is evident that they want to create trouble for us and stop our campaign,\u201d Patkar said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said that for a notice for FY 2017-18, lien on \u20b9210 crore was marked in our 11 accounts in 4 Banks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We condemn the act of BJP to freeze accounts. \u201cLast week we received fresh notice from the IT Department for the FY 1993-94. They are opening the old issue unnecessarily, only to give us trouble,\u201d Patkar said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Alemao said that it is \u2018Murder of democracy\u2019. \u201cBJP is using all agencies to bulldoze democracy. Now at least the Election Commission should intervene. Media is the fourth pillar of democracy and should understand the gravity,\u201d Alemao said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said that BJP has failed in employment, resuming mining, finance, Mhadei and other issues.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cBoth engines have failed. BJP is rattled,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
