VASCO
At a time when the Opposition has been demanding the resignation of CM Pramod Sawant following the statement of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Karnataka, Cortalim MLA Anton Vas became the first MLA to come out in support of the Chief Minister.
Vas speaking to reporters after a new bee-keeping training programme conducted by the Goa Khadi Board and Village industries department in Cortalim said that Sawant as the CM of Goa would do what it takes to save Mhadei River and prevent the diversion of water.
“Mhadei River is a very major issue and a very important one for Goa. Not only MLAs but all the people take Mhadei as the mother and we have to fight to protect our Mhadei which is our lifeline,” said Vas.
“Karnataka elections are nearing and hence there are chances that Union Minister Amit Shah may have made the statements. However, knowing Pramod Sawant as the CM, I am sure, he will do what it takes to save Mhadei. I have full faith in the CM who is capable enough to take the right steps in this regard,” Vas added.
