PANAJI
Aam Aadmi Party women’s wing today held a demonstration in front of the old collectorate building and later submitted a memorandum to the civil supplies department housed there protesting against the increase in LPG price.
Matilda D’Silva who was AAP’s candidate from Navelim at the Zilla Panchayat elections lambasted chief minister Pramod Sawant for increasing the prices of LPG from Rs 600 per cylinder to Rs 783 per cylinder which she said was very steep particularly in the times of pandemic. She lamented that the government has stopped the pension that was being paid to the elderly and instead has increased the electricity and water bills which is increasing the cost of living which is going beyond the means of the ordinary middle class.
Maclean Coutinho rued the fact that while the Congress had cheated the people of Goa the BJP which was brought to power to bring about a change is now taking Goans for a ride and asserted that Goans will no longer be susegad and instead will protest by all means against the “ache din”.
