The Goa unit of the Aam Aadmi Party has welcomed the slew of initiatives announced by the government of Delhi and demanded that CM Pramod Sawant follow the same model.
Stating that Goenkars have been hit by not just the coronavirus pandemic, but also by a cyclone and economic crisis at the same time, Goa AAP convenor Rahul Mhambre said it is high time that Sawant acts immediately to provide economic relief to the common man.
Referring to the ex-gratia amount of Rs 50,000 that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has announced for families that have lost a family member to Covid-19, Mhambre said that he is not aware of any other state or even country in the world that has treated the pandemic like a natural disaster and announced compensation to every person who lost their life.
