CM should quit, force Centre to revoke okay to K'taka DPR

CM Pramod Sawant, instead of advising others (especially leaders of opposition, NGOs, environmentalists, etc) not to politicize the Mhadei issue to somehow hold on to his political chair should himself own up, take full moral responsibility and resign immediately for practically having failed to resolve this issue on priority basis in Goa.  If the government which was in power in 2007 to 2012 has really sold Mhadei  to Karnataka, as claimed by Sawant, then why politicians like Mauvin Godinho, Vishwajeet Rane, Digambar Kamat, Subash Shirodkar, Aleixo Sequeira etc who were in that government are very much part of Pramod Sawant-led BJP government in the state today? I think that CM Sawant should stop blaming the past governments of some opposition parties in the State to save his own image over the Mhadei issue and instead should resign or bring down his government to force his central BJP leaders to come down on their knees and to immediately revoke approval granted to Karnataka DPR at the very earliest.
