Take hold of Vedanta owned Sesa Goa mining company's 2007-2008 annual report published in May 2008, then turn to page 132 to know how Sesa Goa has funded Goa's Political Parties.
Here it is how: Goa Pradesh Congress Committee and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was funded with Rs. 28 lakh each. The three parties namely Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Maharastrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), and Save Goa Front received Rs. 5 lakh each. While Shiv Sena was given Rs. 1 lakh.
This is how the Political Parties in Goa function as extended arm of the mining companies. Did you hear any of these parties even whispering about Goa's mining tragedy that is turning Goa into desert with drying up of its water bodies? Sesa Goa is one of the major stakeholders of Goa's mining extraction. It owns around dozen mines and is acquiring the mines of other companies operating in Goa.

ReplyDeleteSesa Goa has funded Goa's Political Parties and not mining companies. Apologies for error.
