Aam Aadmi Party lamented that Pramod Sawant despite being the chief minister of Goa has no time for the people of Goa or to deal with the problems faced by them as can be seen by the fact that he visited Melauli just yesterday even though the villagers have been agitating for months.
“It is very interesting to note that the CM rushed to help and support outsiders like Adani but has no time for the people of Goa who made him their chief minister,” said Surel Tilve while pointing out that when it comes to matters concerning Goa and Goans, Sawant plays the “blame game”.
AAP spokesperson Sandesh Telekar pointed out that even though thousands of Goans have been protesting the double tracking of the railway tracks for several months, the CM has not yet commented on the matter.
"We have been witnessing midnight protests against coal and double tracking. Can the CM tell us how long it will take for him to listen to and meet the people of in this issue, Tilve asked.
“The agitators are proving with documents that the double tracking is being done only to benefit Adani and has no benefit whatsoever for Goa or Goans but will only help the economy of neighbouring Maharashtra and Karnataka,” he said.
"A few weeks back Sawant visited the PM to discuss Goan issues. Can he tell Goans what was discussed?’’
Goans have fought hard to retain their own identity and this cannot be compromised at any cost said Telekar who also asserted that Goans have to decide on projects that can be taken up in Goa and not politicians sitting in Delhi.
