Goa Congress Files Complaint With Poll Body Against Vijai Sardesai

The Goa Congress has complained to the Election Commission (EC) against state's Deputy Chief Minister Vijai Sardesai over his comments on "weaponising" the youth and demanded that he be charged with sedition.

North Goa district's Youth Congress president Vivek D'Silva in a complaint lodged with the EC on Monday said Mr Sardesai's remark was "an indirect attempt to threaten voters" in the poll-bound Panaji Assembly constituency.

He claimed Mr Sardesai's comments are "against the state" and demanded that he be booked for sedition.
