PANAJI
Aam Aadmi Party on Saturday accused the BJP Government of being a headless chicken moving without any direction given the fact that initially it permitted the Sunburn festival only to cancel it now.
Surel Tilve of AAP said the BJP Government was not consulting people due to which it has to reverse its decisions. “Sunburn would have been a Covid bomb explosion as thousands gather for the festival,” he added.
He also pointed out the fact that every year the Government plays tactics to delay permissions till the 11th hour only to increase its share of the commission.
“The government is running out of beds for Covid patients and yet it permitted the Sunburn festival where lakhs would attend throwing up social distancing to the winds,” said Tilve. “It is evident that the Chief Minister has no control over his ministers as the Health Minister was not even consulted over Sunburn even though the pandemic is very prevalent,” he said.
AAP accused the government of functioning without consulting locals in all matters and referred to the railway double-tracking, highway widening and destruction of reserved forests for industrial purpose as anti-people moves.
“The sunburn festival has been cancelled due to public pressure,” he said and demanded that the people of Goa should be consulted first in all matters henceforth.
