Based on the report published by PTI, one of the BJP leaders has quoted that the Casinos in Goa are the major source of black money with the logic that no one wants to gamble with their own hard earned money and it is only the black money that goes into the Casinos.

According to him, the government needs to keep the eyes on Casinos to unearth the black money. “Will any honest citizen in this country splurge money like this in a casino? No person likes to splurge money unless you get it by ill means,” said, Wilfred Mesquita, BJP leader. According to him, the casino is the place where black money from all over the India is spent.

A senior Goa BJP leader on Friday urged the Centre to keep a tab on the casinos in the state to unearth black money rather than “randomly” raiding places across the country. “It is the Central government which is investigating black money. Why do they randomly raid places here and there?” Wilfred Mesquita, BJP leader, and Goa NRI commissioner asked.

There is no doubt that Mr. Mesquita is talking about the logical conclusions based on the evidence. It is the fact that 70% of the player in casinos of Goa are coming from Delhi and other metro cities in India. If Government does the in the investigation of the casinos with the records of the people they will find a lot of sources of black money.

According to the sources, some of the leading casinos in Goa also have the resorts and hotels in the state that provides the packages to their clients which include the stay and gameplay in casinos. One of the star hotels situated in the Porvorim has similar practice going on for the years now.
