To, The Chief Minister, Goa, The Indian Republic. Dear Sir, Please find below the four imbalance sheets of four of your party representatives in Goa legislative Assembly from Sanguem, Curchorem, Sanvordem and Sanquelim, the constituencies which constitute the mining heartland. Requesting you for asking them to solve these before forthcoming elections. Yours sincerely, Sudeep M Dalvi IMBALANCED SHEET I : SUBHASH PHAL DESSAI, BJP MLA, SANGUEM. The Sanguem legislator Subhash Phaldessai (assets:Rs 7,08,41,855) is a mining transport contractor and owns 18 trucks. The Sanvordem legislator Ganesh Gaonkar is a “dealer” in iron ore and also a transport contractor. The Sanquelim legislator Pramod Sawant owns two trucks. All four are BJP legislators. The Goa Mining People’s Front convenor Suhas Naik has claimed that even police officers and Road Transport officers own mining trucks but have not registered them on purpose. To understand how mining drives government in Goa which means it finances both the Congress and the BJP, how Subhash Phaldessai became a millionaire. In 2010 – 2011, his official income was Rs. 79,92,288 and that of his wife Rs. 83,30,565. Agricultural land he owns: area 3.79 acre – purchased in November 2011 - cost Rs. 26,00,000. Non-agricultural land he owns: area 3965.06 sq ft – purchased in March 2011 - cost Rs. 2,99,000. Area 3,846.7 sq ft - purchase in March 2011- cost Rs 2,90,000. Area 1,41,225 sq ft – purchased in December 2010 - cost Rs. 27,50,000. Area 6,638.92 sq ft - purchase in February 2010 - cost Rs. 92,500. Area 4,648.32 sq ft – purchased in February 2010 - cost Rs 64,800. Area 53,800 sq ft – purchased in July 2009 - cost Rs 20,00,000. Area 40,350 sq ft – purchased in July 2011 - cost Rs. 19,09,687. Area 10,351.12 sq ft – purchased in August 2009 - cost Rs 2,40,000. Area 4,949.6 sq ft – purchased in April 2010 - cost Rs. 1,00,000. Area 9,684 sq ft – purchased in April 2010 - cost Rs. 5,40,000. Area 3,965.06 sq ft -purchase date March 2011- cost Rs. 2,99,0000. Area 3,846.7 sq ft – purchased in March 2011 - cost Rs 2,90,000. Area 1,41,225 sq ft – purchased in December 2010 - cost Rs 27,50,000. Area 40,350 sq ft – purchased in July 2011- cost Rs 19,09,687. Area 9,684 sq ft – purchased in April 2010 - cost Rs 5,40,000. The millionaire Sanguem legislator spent more than double this amount on developing the lands he bought. IS THIS POSSIBLE ??? IMBALANCED SHEET : II NILESH CABRAL, BJP MLA, CURCHOREM To better understand how mining drives government in Goa which means it finances both the Congress and the BJP, let us consider for this week, how the BJP’s Curchorem legislator Nilesh Cabral (41) became a crorepati at such a young age. In 2010-2011 his assets were Rs. 13,42,53,207 and liabilities Rs. 9,09,30,693. Cabral owns nine Tata tipper trucks, an Eicher truck, a Tata Tempo, a Tata Mobile (vehicle), three Tata trucks, a Tata ACE, six mini buses, four excavators and two barges; all of which he valued at Rs. 4,16,15,806. Properties he owns: area 959 sq. mt. - purchased in Janary 2010 - cost Rs. 11,73,000 - development cost Rs. 28,77,000. Area 401 sq.mt. – purchased in May 2003 - cost Rs. 8,16,000 - development cost Rs. 12,00,000. Area 250 sq.mt. – purchased in May 2003 - cost Rs. 5,20,000 - development cost Rs. 7,50,000. Area 1,600 sq.mt. – purchased in June 2005 - cost Rs. 11,64,800 - development cost Rs. 48,00,000. Area 2032.50 sq.mt. – purchased in June 2009 - cost Rs. 6,48,900 - development cost Rs. 24,39,000. Area 1,975 sq.mt. – purchase date not known - cost not known - development cost Rs. 17,75,000. He was able to borrow Rs. 1,11,49,029 from the Bicholim Urban Co-op Bank merely on the basis of a fixed deposit of Rs. 12,112, personal guarantees and mortgaged assets; but the fact is co-op banks like the Goa Cooperative Bank Ltd and Economic Development Corporation of Goa are cash waiting to be milked by politicians. IMBALANCED SHEET : III, GANESH GAONKAR, BJP MLA, SANVORDEM The Bharatiya Janata Party’s Sanvordem legislator Ganesh Gaonkar had assets of Rs. 7,40,07,274 and liabilities of Rs. 28,41,568 before the last Assembly elections. His land holdings were as follows: Non Agricultural Land Area 9,525.00 sq. mt. (Ponda) – purchased in December 2010 - cost Rs. 17,46,400 - development cost Rs. 20,20,000. Area 498 sq. mt. (Kundaim, GIDC plot) - purchased in April 2011 - cost Rs. 3,00,000 - development cost –Rs. 5,00,000. Area 68,300 sq. mt. (Kundaim) - purchased in April 2011 - cost Rs. 10,65,547 - development cost –Rs. 1,90,00,000. Area 378.75 sq. mt. (Bandora, Ponda) - purchased in 2009 - cost Rs. 4,16,000 - development cost – Rs. 6,00,000. Area 398.25 sq. mt. (Bandora, Ponda) - purchased in September 2007 - cost Rs. 5,20,000 - development cost- Rs. 7,50,000. Gaonkar spent Rs. 40,47,947 to buy land and Rs. 2,28,70,000 to develop it. Commercial Buildings Area 41.33 sq. mt. (Ponda) - purchased in October 2010 - cost Rs. 8,08,000 - development cost -Rs. 10,00,000. Area 23.33 sq. mt. (Ponda) - purchase in October 2011 - cost Rs. 8,32,400 - development cost –Rs. 12,50,000. Area 20.04 sq. mt. (Ponda) - purchased in October 2011 - cost Rs. 7,07,400- development cost - Rs 9,50,000. Area 27.39 sq. mt. (Ponda) purchased in October 2011- cost Rs. 9,48,700- development cost - Rs. 12,50,000. Area 26.27 sq. mt. (Ponda)- purchased in October 2011- cost Rs. 9,25,900 - development cost - Rs. 12,50,000. Area 43.26 sq mt. (Ponda) – purchased October 2011 - cost – Rs. 14,30,200 - development cost - Rs. 18,50,000. Gaonkar spent Rs. 56,52,600 to buy what appears to be shop space going by their small sizes and spent Rs. 75,50,000 to develop them. Is also important to note that except for one, all were bought in one month in 2011 when the mining boom was at its height. Mine owners exported as much as 54 million tonnes of iron ore in 2011-2012 before the ban on mining. In fact according to a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Coal and Steel more than one-third (36.9 per cent exactly) of the total iron ore produced in the country was exported during 2011-12. Residential Buildings Area 92.33 sq. mt. (Belgaum, Karanataka) - purchased in January 2010 - cost Rs. 14,30,851 - development cost – Rs. 16,00,000. Area 90.58 sq. mt. (Ponda) - purchase in May 2010 - cost Rs. 13,26,400 - development cost - Rs. 15,00,000. Area 540 sq. mt. (Sanguem) - purchased in August 2010 - cost Rs. 35,40,000 - development cost - Rs. 40,00,000. Area 61 sq. mt. (Ponda) – purchased in December 2009 - cost Rs. 3,12,300 - development cost – Rs. 6,15,000. Area 218.73 sq. mt. (Bandora) - purchased in March 2010 - cost Rs. 95,45,600 - development cost – Rs. 1,25,00,000. Gaonkar spent Rs. 1,61,55,151 buying up residential space and Rs. 2,02,15,000 to develop it. IS IT POSSIBLE ???? IMBALANCED SHEET : IV, PRAMOD SAWANT, BJP MLA, SANQUELIM Perhaps mining iron ore was indeed the Golden Goose that greedy miners and mining operators killed in order to grab it all. To boot, how do you explain Pramod Sawant’s riches he made by owning just two tipper trucks. The Sanvordem legislator had assets of Rs. 1,26,07,982 and liabilities of Rs. 45,91,560 including two Tata tipper trucks he bought for Rs. 12,00,000 and Rs. 14,00,000, before the last Assembly elections. For the moment I am unable to fathom even how he would take the risk of running up liabilities of Rs. 45,91,560. Agricultural land Area 4,625 sq. mt. (Mayem) - purchased in April 2007 - cost Rs. 5,45,000 - development cost - Rs. 18,00,000. Non Agricultural Land Area 488 sq. mt. (Sanquelim) - purchased in July 2008 - cost Rs. 7,32,600 - development cost- Rs. 35,00,000. Area 2,550 sq. mt. (Mayem) – purchased in April 2007 - cost Rs. 3,20,000 - development cost- Rs. 10,50,000. It is important to note here that Pramod buys land for a total of Rs. 15,97,600 and spends Rs. 63,50,000 to develop it. IS IT POSSIBLE ??? Courtesy : goanspirit/index.php/lion-roars/lion-roars-2013
