The Goa Forward Party has condemned the government’s decision to effect a hike in water, diesel and liquor tariff in the state and wondered how much Goa BJP Chief Minister Pramod Sawant will manage to get for the people of Goa from the Rs 20 lakh crore Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s financial package.
Reminding the government of its bounden duty to ensure safety and health of citizens within and outside Goa, the Goa Forward said the party would be forced to move the High Court if the government does not make clear its plan of action to rescue and repatriate non-resident Goans and seafarers with immediate effect.
Goa Forward President Vijai Sardesai said the recent hike of water tariff, VAT on diesel and increased taxes on liquor is a burden on locals and business community. Welcoming the PM’s 20 lakh crore package, the GFP President said Goemkars were eager to know how much of this would the CM get for locals.
