PONDA
As part of their state-wide agitation, members of Goa Suraksha Manch (GSM) on Thursday staged a protest near Dada Vaidya Chowk in Ponda to condemn the State government's decision to consider bilateral talks with Karnataka on the Mhadei water issue.
GSM member Harshad Dewari said the GSM denounced the letter sent by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to Karnataka BJP President B S Yeddyurappa on the possibility of bilateral talks with Karnataka on the Mhadei issue.
Claiming that the BJP government had taken a U-turn on the issue and had betrayed Goans, the GSM members said the BJP was trying to derive political mileage through this issue and hence, had written letter to Yeddyurappa.
"Parrikar should immediately withdraw this letter and apologise to the people of Goa. It is purely a political move by BJP to win Karnataka assembly elections," said one GSM member.
