Opposition Congress today slammed Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar for occupying two official bungalows and called government's austerity measures an "eyewash".
State Congress today distributed the allotment letters, issued by General Administration Department (GAD), to media persons, which showed the chief minister was alloted the CM's official residence 'Mahalaxmi', while he is also occupying another bungalow that was alloted to him when he was health minister in the Manohar Parrikar-led government.
It said that 'Mahalamxi' was alloted to him as 'camp office'.
"The chief minister is just interested in his own comforts. The (recent) circulars about austerity measures are just an eyewash," Congress spokesperson Sunil Kawathankar said.
He said that he has also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, drawing his attention towards the wasteful expenditure.
The letter, a copy of which was also sent to Governor of Goa Mridula Sinha, read that both the houses are situated few metres away from each other in the plush Altinho locality.
