Curtorim MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco on Thursday voiced the demand of the Congress party that all coal-related infrastructure projects in Goa be stopped immediately and that a high-level inquiry be conducted into the alleged corruption and misuse of power by Union Minister for Shipping Nitin Gadkari and other BJP leaders.
Speaking at Congress House, Reginaldo stated, "Congress will support the ongoing civilian movement against the nationalization of Goan rivers and we won't allow a coal hub in Goa. All coal-related infrastructure projects in the state should be stopped immediately and a high-level inquiry should be ordered into the corruption and misuse of power by Gadkari and other BJP leaders."
Reginaldo demanded that the final estimates of all the projects and investments in the coal0related projects should be laid bare before the people for public scrutiny. "BJP has behaved in an autocratic and dictatorial way and there has been no transparent consultation with the people," he alleged.
The Curtorim MLA further questioned the thousands of crore worth expenditure from public treasury on constructing roads and other infrastructure to facilitate private coal companies located in Karnataka. "BJP government has pro0ved that it is anti-people and anti-Goan and that its only aim is to serve corporations that want to make profits by destroying our economies, This is nothing but massive money-making for the next elections," Reginaldo lashed out.
The Congressman said that Gadkari's assurance that he will move the coal project elsewhere cannot be trusted until all ongoing coal-related projects are stopped. Coal hub in Goa
