Goa Forward Chief Vijai Sardesai urged the government to do development by consent and not by coercion, saying it is high time the BJP understood that development that needs to be brutally imposed on people is not development.
Saying that most projects that are being touted as development do not benefit the people but a few lobbies and individuals, apart from being hotbeds of corruption, the Goa Forward Chief urged the Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and the government of Goa to take Goans into confidence and develop consent to execute projects of public interest like the model Goa Forward have in Fatorda before condemning those who oppose projects.
“Development by consent is a tried and tested method to solicit participation, assent, and approval of the people who are the ultimate beneficiaries of development,” he added.
