Panaji, March 19 (IANS) The Goa chief secretary has been asked by election authorities here to respond to a complaint that two Officers on Special Duty in the chief minister's office were campaigning for the ruling BJP.
Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Keshav Chandra told reporters at a briefing Wednesday that the chief secretary was expected to file a response to the complaint filed by the Congress soon.
