Panchayats Minister Mauvin Godinho continued to target those opposing the State government and said people must accept and appreciate development work done by the Bharatiya Janata Party government without falling prey to baseless criticism by the opposition using the social media.
Godinho was speaking during the Liberation Day function at the Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs sports complex ground in Bhute Bhat, after he unfurled the national flag.
“The change and addition of huge infrastructure, despite financial constraints, for public benefit is visible for entire Goa to see,” Godinho said in his address. “Works are taking place on large scale and I appeal to people to stay united and not be divided because of wrong propaganda by the opposition.
“My message to the opposition on Liberation Day is to take real issues, appreciate the good works of the government and not indulge in misguiding the people using social media. I also appeal to society not to be divided by falling prey to fake propaganda of the opposition," said Godinho.
“Some sections of the society want to take Goa back to the cave age. While industries are important in Goa for jobs, measures can be taken up to prevent pollution but there is a large opposition for anything.”
The minister said even the farmers' agitation in Delhi has been made into an issue by the opposition after misguiding the farmers. “The opposition are experts in creating issues and misguiding people, whether it is the farmers' agitation in Punjab or projects in Goa, by linking the cause to some companies.”
“The Minimum Support Price for farmers will remain the same and they will be able to sell their produce across India at good prices and the motto of the BJP is to double the income of framers by 2022,” Godinho said.
The minister appealed to the youth to be positive and use social media to their advantage to acquire knowledge so that Goa can move forward with full steam.
