At a function attended by his cabinet colleagues at the State secretariat in Porvorim, Sawant also released a booklet listing out the achievements of his government over the last 100 days.

On the much-touted pre-election promise of providing three LPG cylinders to households in a year to help them beat inflation and price rise, the booklet however limits it to households below the poverty line.
