Goa Forward Chief Vijai Sardesai has said that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and the BJP do not understand Goa, and do not care about Goa, saying the Rs 300-crore budget allocation for Goa’s Liberation Day celebrations are not the priority for the state which is facing its biggest debt-crisis in its modern-day history.

He further underlined the need to provide tax incentives for Goan owned tourism operators and immediate mining relief for Goan owned firms.
