Panaji:  The BJP-led government in Goa is the “most discredited government in the country”, AAP leader Ashutosh said on Thursday, saying his party was keen on contesting the 2017 assembly election in the state.

But a final decision on whether the Aam Aadmi Party would contest elections in Goa would be taken soon by the Political Affairs Committee, headed by Delhi Chief Minister and National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Ashutosh told the media.

“The BJP government in Goa is the most discredited government in the country. I did not imagine a BJP government can be as discredited as this… The people of Goa have no love for the Congress either. AAP is seriously considering contesting the 2017 assembly election,” Ashutosh said.

The AAP leader was in Goa to review the organizational affairs of the AAP in Goa.

The Goa assembly elections are due in early 2017. “People in Goa are looking for an alternative. The AAP could be that alternative,” Ashutosh said.

The Bharatiya Janata Party dismissed the AAP charges.

State BJP president Vinay Tendulkar told IANS that the question of who was discredited and who was not would be answered after the 2017 assembly polls.

“The BJP will win 26 seats on its own in 2017. Let us see whether AAP can win even one seat,” Tendulkar said.

Ashutosh said Kejriwal would address a public meeting in Goa soon.

He said the AAP had never aligned with any political party. “AAP is not a conventional political party. We present an alternative form of politics for the people.”

AAP National Secretary Pankaj Gupta said the party had collected enough funds to start an election campaign in Goa.

“Our target for Goa is around Rs.6-12 crore… We have collected enough funds to start our election campaign,” Gupta said.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
