PONDA
Alleging that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had shown its true colours on the Medium of Instruction (MoI) issue, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee Secretary Durgadas Kamat said only parents could decide what is best for their children.
“The BJP is playing with sentiments and emotions of the people. It has committed three crimes. It has ditched its own parent party, ditched FORCE and has also ditched the citizens of Goa over the MoI issue,” said Kamat, while addressing a news conference in Ponda.
“Our party ideology never matches with RSS and BBSM, but it's unfortunate that BJP has shown true colours now to its parent body. It is evident that money and ruling power makes BJP forget everything including their so-called Sanskars of RSS,” Kamat stated.
“In a bid to defuse agitations, BJP MLAs give assurances and then forget to fulfill them. They had given assurances to FORCE members during their agitation at Azad Maidan in Panaji, but now BJP State President Vinay Tendulkar says that supporting grants for English was the personal opinion of the BJP MLAs,” he pointed out.
To a question about Congress party's stand on MoI, Kamat said the decision should be left to the parents. “Only parents can decide that issue,” he said.
He has advised BBSM members to resign from the several posts in government bodies, claiming that BJP had used them to seize power.
