Corrupt Government Officials gives nightmares to the common man. They are very rude and behave like villains. They shout and even push to go out of their office, if asked, why they delayed the work. They must be made accountability for their corrupt practices and arrogant behavior. They should be told that this common man pay your salary. Respect this Common Man. Finish their work within days or weeks and not in months.

Lets us hope probes will be initiated for some of the Panchayats too.

Colva Panchayat is one of the most corrupt that I am aware of.

Every Colva Panch and Sarpanch too, has assets dis-proportionate to their known sources of earning.

Nearly all Colva Panch`s have been given cars and monetary benefits as Bribes, & to approve various Bulding Projects.

CRZ rules have been bypassed

Many are known to use Extortion as a means of increasing their assets & power.

Some are known to be clandestinely,involved in Prostitution too and Drugs.

Looks like MLA & Panchayats Minister Laximikant

Parsekar is fast asleep. Perhaps he is a beneficiary too??

Now it looks like Benaulim Panchayat too wish to remove the Sarpanch, as they are currently unable to conduct illegal activities and money making schemes.

May be it would be a good idea to introduce the "NOTA"(none of the above) for Panchayat elections too.
