Even the Christian crosses and chapels are targeted in the name of development.  The politicians who have taken oaths and cheated on Hindu, Muslims and Christians gods have no fear of anyone as they think they are gods when they are in power. We the people of Goa don't want any development by destroying our ancient history. The people of Porvorim should teach a lesson to their MLA during the next election and the BJP government should immediately replace the idol of Khapreshwar at the same place by building new temple after the corridor work is complete.
