Girish Chodankar has also demanded a white paper on the financial aspects of BRICS including the central funds received and the expenditure incurred by Goa government.

He claimed Goa had lost an opportunity to showcase Goa at global level during BRICS. “Instead of highlighting a Goan theme, BJP tried to make political gains by designing a logo similar to Lotus, which is its party symbol.”
