Questioning the logic behind the government’s decision to go in for lavish cars for the ministers, Goa Forward Party Chief Vijai Sardesai has said the BJP leadership in Goa and the Centre should explain to Goemkars how the party can go in for wasteful expenditure when the financial situation is bad due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sardesai said he would not contribute to the CM’s Relief Fund if the government has some grandiose plans to buy expensive cars when the state is passing through a financial crisis.
He said even Governor Satya Pal Malik has decided to contribute to the Prime Minister’s fund and not to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.
The Goa Forward President said the statement made by MGP leader Sudin Dhavalikar that the government should curb wasteful expenditure should be debated in the state. “I feel that when there is not much work to do, the Cabinet should be trimmed. This government is not concerned about the social welfare of the people. When I was in the government, I had never used government vehicle, but my own. What the government is doing right now by going in for new cars is criminal indulgence,” he added.
