MARGAO
Goa Forward Chief Vijai Sardesai demanded on Monday that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant remove Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho from his position due to his reported statement that people are enjoying too much democracy in the state.
While addressing the media at Lohia Maidan, Margao, the Goa Forward Chief expressed his surprise that the Transport Minister compared Goa and India to China in order to emphasize that the people of Goa and the country are enjoying too much democracy.
“This Transport Minister has no idea about what democracy is all about. When the BJP leadership, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, showers praise on Mahatma Gandhi, here is a Minister who questions democracy, for which Gandhiji had led the people of India in the fight against colonial power,” he said.
He further demanded that the Chief Minister immediately remove Mauvin Godinho from his Cabinet if Pramod Sawant believes in democracy and shares the democratic values espoused by Mahatma Gandhi.
