VASCO
South Goa MP Captain Viriato Fernandes has criticised the BJP government, accusing it of misleading Goans over the purpose of the Hospet-Vasco double-tracking project.
Fernandes said the recent announcement by the Union government regarding the opening of the double track has only “confirmed and exposed the lies and deceit” that the BJP in Goa has indulged in since the lockdown.
“From the very beginning of our opposition to the double tracking, the State government kept saying that the project was meant for passengers and not for coal. It has now been proved otherwise,” said Fernandes.
He assured that Goans would not allow the State to become a coal transportation hub.
“The people of Goa will ensure that coal transportation is stopped and Mormugao Port Authority is brought back from private control to the public sector,” Fernandes stated.
