Aam Aadmi Party while welcoming the withdrawal of the fast-unto-death by Drishti lifeguards cautioned the people against trusting the 'fotting' Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.
AAP Goa Convener Rahul Mhambre while pointing out that the CM has not given anything in writing reminded people that Sawant has been lying on various occasions.
"A similar promise was made 11 months ago in February and that has not been honoured and now again nothing is given in writing," Rahul pointed out.
However, he welcomed the withdrawal of the agitation as the agitators were on fast unto death for 11 days.
"Sawant kept the lifeguards hanging for 11 months and made 70 of them fast for 29 days," he said terming this as cruelty.
"There are many more groups who are protesting against the destruction of Goa carried out by this BJP government. May it be the Coal or the Mollem destruction issue. The CM must have the courtesy to listen to their demands. Democracy is all about dialogue but unfortunately, the BJP government is currently functioning in a dictatorial manner," said Rahul
"We demand that a written assurance is given by CM Sawant of the promises he verbally made to the lifeguards since it's a well-known fact that the BJP leaders are notorious for their short term memory loss and 'U' turns," said Rahul.
