Constitute task force of experts to deal with Covid: Kamat

MARGAO
Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat has said it is high time that the BJP Government in Goa constitutes a task force of experts from civil society and army to handle and manage Covid pandemic in the State.

“How many more Covid deaths the BJP Government under Pramod Sawant wants to see to realise the mismanagement in GMC?” questioned the Opposition Leader.

“It is loud and clear that the oxygen cylinders were sent to Sindhudurg at the request of BJP leader Narayan Rane and not for the benefit of needy patients. Those who play politics in medical emergencies should not try to point fingers at others,” Kamat said, as he hit back responding to his criticism by CM Pramod Sawant two days back.

“I and my party respect every human being across the world. But I am also of the firm opinion that my State is first. We need to give first priority to our people and then to others and surely not for political advantage,” he added.
