PANJIM: Nearly 19 of the 95 candidates contesting the CCP elections are crorepatis, and this does not take into consideration the value of their immovable assets. There are five candidates with serious criminal backgrounds, of which three are in the panel backed by St Cruz MLA Atanasio Monserrate and one each in the BJP and Congress panels.

  1. 19 of 95 candidates are crorepatis

  2. Five candidates have criminal background

  3. Almost 70 percent have not studied beyond class XII

  4. 40 percent are over 50 years old

Nearly 70 percent of the candidates have not studied beyond Class XII, while 40 percent are in the age group of 50 years and above. This is against the tall claims made by the panel chiefs who had announced they would field educated, young, qualified candidates for the polls. Nearly 60 percent candidates are male.

This information was disclosed by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), Goa Chapter on Thursday and the findings are based on affidavits filed by the candidates before the returning officers.

ADR State coordinator Bhasker Assoldekar said that nearly 20 percent of the candidates are crorepatis with income above Rs two to Rs five crore. These include

  1. Surendra Furtado and his wife Ruth,
  2. Sheetal Naik,
  3. Menino de Cruz,
  4. Manoj Patil,
  5. Uday Madkaikar,
  6. Gaurish Dhond amongst others.       

“Sheetal Naik tops the list of richest candidates as per the Income Tax returns filed for the financial year 2014-15,” he said. Naik is BJP candidate from ward No 5. She is wife of BJP’s Taleigao block president Dattaprasad Naik.

There are three candidates with low assets, with NCP leader Avinash Bhonsle, contesting on the Congress panel, having the least income. 

ADR has listed six candidates with criminal backgrounds. These are

  1. Dayanand Karapurkar (six cases),
  2. Krishna Shirodkar (six cases),
  3. Uday Madkaikar (three cases) from the Monserrate panel,
  4. Congress’s Sandip Vaingankar (five cases)
  5. BJP’s Nelson Cabral (one case).

“These candidates have serious criminal cases against them involving cases of corruption, loss to State exchequer, offence with imprisonment of five years and above and other charges,” Assoldekar said.

There are 28 candidates who are graduates and one post graduate. While the list does not highlight any candidate as uneducated, there is one candidate who has studied up to Class V and seven who have studied up to Class VIII.
