PANAJI: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Sunday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with Swayampurna mitras, sarpanchs and panch members on October 23.
He also accused the opposition parties of coming together to loot the state and not in the interest of the state’s development.
Sawant said that the Prime Minister has acknowledged the work of Swayampurna Goa.
Sawant said that looking at the good work that the state government is doing the opposition is becoming restless. “The BJP government is looking at doing things for the development of the state by keeping aside caste, creed and religion,” he said
The chief minister said that he is hopeful that the people of the state will once again elect BJP to form the next government in Goa. “I am confident that people of Goa will support BJP,” Sawant said
Without directly naming the leader of opposition Digambar Kamat and Goa Forward Party and Fartoda MLA, Vijai Sardesai, Sawant said some people sitting in Margao and Fatorda are criticising the government, but they should not tell us what we should do when they themselves have a leadership crisis at the central and state-level.
“They do not even know in which party their MLAs will land tomorrow,” Sawant said. Pointing to former chief minister Luizinho Faleiro’s exit from Congress, Sawant said that the person who got the position of minister and chief minister did not continue with the party and that looking at this people should take a decision as to whether to support Congress in the next assembly elections.
“Their own MLAs are leaving them and joining other parties,” he said. “I want to tell Digambar Kamat that still there is time.”
Referring to Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) MLA Ramkrishna ‘Sudin’ Dhavalikar’s announcement that MGP will hold a rath yatra during election, Sawant said, “I told him to take a rath yatra and that it does not make any difference to us. People know that he is doing selfish politics for last 20 years and people will not support them.”
Chief minister Pramod Sawant said that the PM has acknowledged the work of Swayampurna Goa. He said that looking at the good work that the state government is doing the opposition is becoming restless
