Govt failed to protect Goa’s stake in Mopa airport: Sudin

PANAJI

MGP leader and Marcaim MLA Sudin Dhavalikar accused the State government of failing to protect Goa’s stake in the Mopa airport and claimed that the GMR company is contemplating transferring the project to another company.

He also alleged that the Zuari Agro Chemicals Ltd had been sold and a major portion of the land allotted to it by the government is being developed as real estate.

He said that the government had failed to intervene in this matter to ensure the interest of the State.

“As per my information, the government had allotted around 11 lakh sq. meters of land to Zuari Agrochemical to promote employment. Permission has now been taken from TCP to develop the land as plots,” Dhavalikar told reporters.

Meanwhile, Dhavalikar said MGP would field candidates in 12 constituencies and said many core BJP supporters are frustrated and would join his team in about 15 days.

Dhavalikar said the MGP may consider not fielding a candidate against Alina Saldanha, who resigned as MLA and joined the AAP on Thursday, in Cortalim constituency.
