Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Girish Chodankar on Thursday dared North Goa MP Shripad Naik to disclose the “so-called solution” to the mining issue that Shripad claimed the government had, before the inauguration of the third Mandovi bridge.
According to Chodankar, Shripad was only making statements about solutions to mining so that mining dependents don’t protest at the bridge inauguration slated for January 27.
Chodankar said that there was no need to wait for fifteen days to reveal the government’s solution to the mining problem.
Reacting to Shripad’s statement that the Centre needed 15 days, Chodankar said that it would be a great and the only significant achievement of 20 years of being an MP for Shripad, if he managed to get even
an appointment with the Prime Minister on the mining issue.
“In fact he has admitted in Narve that he was not being given an appointment by the Prime Minister,” said the
GPCC president in a press release.
“It’s a big question mark whether the Prime Minister Narendra Modi even knows or recognizes Shripad,” he said, adding, “Narendra Modi will have to clarify why he’s not giving Shripad Naik an appointment.”
Even South Goa MP Narendra Sawaikar had to introduce himself to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi the other day at the South Goa video conferencing event which only goes to show how much the Central government respects its
own BJP MPs, Chodankar stated.
“The so called mining solution as stated by Shripad Naik is just another jumla so that the inauguration of the third Mandovi bridge goes smoothly and mining dependents don’t protest on that day,” added Chodankar.
