Goa Forward Party (GFP) MLA Vijai Sardesai on Wednesday boycotted the President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the Goa Legislative Assembly as a mark of protest against State and Centre’s betrayal of Goans on issues like Mhadei river water diversion, political reservation to Scheduled Tribes and coal pollution.
“I have a message too. With all due respect to the Rashtrapatihi, I stayed away from the functions organized by the Government of Goa because I am tired of the hypocrisy and neglect shown to Goa and Goemkars time and again by both the BJP government in Goa and at the Centre,” he tweeted.
“No glittering event can take away the betrayal of the ST community with respect to their reservation or the betrayal of Goans with respect to Mhadei and coal,” he added.
He has urged the double engine government to stop taking Goans for granted.
