PANAJI
State Congress President Girish Chodankar on Friday appeared to don the robes of a wizened sage as he launched into a fifteen-minute sermon on 'dharma and adharma', in response to BJP national President JP Nadda's statement on Thursday when the latter told party workers to bring Goans on the path of adharma (non-righteousness) to the path of dharma (righteousness).Addressing a press conference in Panaji, a day after Nadda's controversial remark at a BJP workers' meeting in the Chief Minister's constituency at Amona, Chodankar said that Nadda had insulted Goans by saying that they follow the path of adharma, before he unleashed a litany of transgressions, which he claimed were committed by the ruling BJP by 'adharma'.
"We condemn this statement. The people of Goa were never on the path of adharma and will never be. The people of Goa have been reared on peace and joy and have followed the path of religion. They have always followed the righteous path. We do not need the BJP to tell the people of Goa, that BJP will guide them to take them on the righteous path," Chodankar told reporters at a press conference in Panaji.
