All Goa women have ration cards, no need for AAP to come: CM Parsekar mocks Sandeep Kumar's sex scandal

Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Sunday took a jibe at Aam Admi Party (AAP), saying the party has nothing to gain in Goa where all women have ration cards, an oblique reference to sacked Delhi Minister Sandeep Kumar who allegedly raped a woman who had sought his help to obtain the document.

"In Goa, all women have ration cards. Hence, I feel AAP has nothing to gain here," Parsekar told a gathering of Mahila Morcha, BJP's women wing, in Panaji. 

"It is shameful that one woman was exploited for ration card," he said, attacking the Arvind Kejriwal-led party which has announced plans to contest next year's Assembly elections in the coastal State, where BJP is in power.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, a former Goa CM, had also made a veiled reference about the CD scandal involving Kumar and the ration card issue while addressing BJP workers in Panaji on Saturday.

Taunting Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who recently underwent a tongue surgery, Parsekar said "Kejriwal is taking some treatment because he spoke so much in Delhi and Goa that his tongue size grew and hence had to be treated.
