Funds from Central govt unutilised: RGP

PANAJI

Revolutionary Goans Party supremo Manoj Parab charged the Goa Government for being anti-Goans in a press conference along with Licio Roncon at the party head office in Panaji on Monday.

Parab said that he will brief the press every day and conduct the panchanama of the government budget report. Parab also presented the data on how the funds received by the Central government were kept unutilised.

He further stated that time and again the CM and his wife said Goans don't want to work in private firms and hence non-Goans are employed. The RGP Supremo challenged Sawant that he will prove how many Goans are working for low wages and how they are travelling and these workers are exploited.
