A DIG AT GIRISH
PANAJI: The State BJP president Vinay Tendulkar while congratulating Girish Chodankar for his elevation as Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president questioned his logic behind demanding that the government dismiss the current state government because there is no chief minister at the helm.
“Chodankar should tell us under what law should our government be dismissed?” Tendulkar said while also taunting Chodankar for being the third GPCC president in the short span of one year.
“He should tell us how many MLAs he has with him and how long he will last in this chair,” Tendulkar said.

- State BJP President
PANAJI: State BJP President and Rajya Sabha MP Vinay Tendulkar denied that he as a Rajya Sabha MP and member of the committee on Tourism and Culture were kept in the loop when the central government took a decision to hand over several heritage monuments in across the country for private companies to maintain.
“No such proposal came to the committee for the many meetings I have attended. I don’t know anything about it,” Tendulkar said when asked about the central government’s scheme.
“I do not think that the central government should play with the religious sentiments of the people in this way. Not just in this case, in anything we believed in taking the stakeholders into confidence before taking any decision. In this case, it was not done,” Tendulkar said.
Tendulkar who is a Rajya Sabha MP said he was also unaware of the central government’s ‘Monument Mitra’ scheme and said he did not know how this came about.
Earlier it was Minister for Archives and Archaeology Vijai Sardesai who claimed that the state government was kept in the dark of handing over to private parties to maintain. The Minister said he would call a meeting to discuss the issue.
