VASCO: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Friday hit out at the opposition for “unnnecesary criticism” against his government.
Speaking at the ‘Government at Your Doorstep’ function held in MES college campus, Zuarinagar, for all four constitiuencies in Mormugao taluka, Sawant said, “We can proudly say that all the schemes introduced by the late CM Manohar Parrikar are 100% running and benefiting Goans.
We are looking towards making Goa self-sufficient and asking help of Goans to assist BJP in taking Goa on the road to development.”
He challenged opposition leader Digamber Kamat to list out one scheme which he introduced as chief minister and is still valid.
“Distributing water for free to Goans did not go well with Sudin Dhavalikar, and he took credit for it saying he had passed the proposal. I told him that if he had to be in my place, Goans would not have even got water. Now he wants to start ‘Rath’ yatra. This is nothing but selfish politics,” he said.
Without naming TMC, panchayat minister and Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho said, “There are such parties coming to Goa to contest the upcoming polls, whose culture is stabbing and killing for political gain. Our workers have to ask the people of Goa whenever they go for campaigning whether they want such parties to come down to Goa who have violence as their culture."
