VASCO
Former Vasco MLA Carlos Almeida on Sunday said that it was time to defeat both the BJP MP candidates in the State during the upcoming MP elections for fooling the people of Goa.
Almeida was speaking to reporters after pouring water from the Mhadei river into Maimolem lake along with Vasco Block Congress committee president Adv Melwyn Fernandes, Former Vasco MLA Herculano Dourado and other Congress members as a protest and a show of solidarity in the fight to protect river Mhadei.
"The BJP government stands exposed and it was CM Pramod Sawant who had said that Mhadei was like his mother but Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the water is being diverted to Karnataka after taking Goa government in confidence," said Almeida.
"This is a sad thing to happen and we don't understand who is a bigger liar, the Chief Minister or Amit Shah. The CM is now saying that he will study the speech of Amit Shah but even a five-year-old boy can clearly understand the message of Shah," Almeida continued.
"The people must change both these BJP MPs and ensure the defeat of the BJP in both seats for having fooled innocent Goans. I am sure that the Congress party will take the lead in Vasco for the upcoming MP elections," added Almeida.
