Goa Congress president Girish Chodankar on Tuesday said he had disclosed the name of the cabinet minister who had allegedly sexually exploited a woman, to state Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai during a meeting and sought his dismissal.

“Met H.E. Governor of Goa and disclosed him the Name of the @BJP4Goa Cabinet Minister involved in #SexScandal. It is #Vasanakand. Urged His Excellency to sack the minister, @ShetSadanand if still displaying ignorance should meet Governor to know the Name of the Minister,” Chodankar tweeted.

BJP Goa unit chief Sadanand Shet Tanavade had earlier said Chodankar should reveal the name of the minister if he possesses any evidence.
