Congress slams BJP over scrapping of housing scheme for bureaucrats

Panaji, Sep 22 (UNI) The Congress in Goa has critised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state for disallowing legal recourse to government employees to appeal against scrapping of loan interest subsidies available to them under House Building Allowance Scheme.
Goa Congress President Girish Chodankar termed the action as worse than that of Portuguese rulers and accused the government of crossing limits of decency.
"This is worse than the actions of the Portuguese rulers. This government has crossed all limits of decency. They are harassing their own bureaucrats by denying them the right of appeal against the decision to scrap the scheme," Mr Chodankar said while addressing a press conference on Monday.
