After a scathing attack by the Goa church, both the Congress and the NCP on 9 May blamed the BJP-led government of Goa for the ongoing beef shortage in the state. Both parties also said the shortage of beef was the result of a “communal conspiracy” by the BJP government to harass minority communities by denying them a cheap source of nutrition. Both the NCP as well as Congress members have claimed that the person who petitioned the Bombay High Court bench in Goa against illegalities at the state-run slaughter house, which inadvertently resulted in the beef shortage, was a BJP party office-bearer. “The man who filed the petition, Hanumant Parab, is a BJP official. BJP has instigated him to go to court, after which the government rigged its own defence,” NCP spokesperson Trajano D’Mello claimed.
