Politicians are active only because of assembly polls

A 20-beded Primary Health Centre (PHC) was inaugurated in Saligao constituency near the Saligao panchayat on Saturday on August 14 and a foundation stone was also laid for hot-mixing of Chogm Road. Maximum political mileage was taken out of the even by the current MLA Jayesh Salgaonkar (the opportunist leader who is just waiting to officially join the BJP for his own political survival very soon). Why can’t our politicians inaugurate a single project without politicising such events and seeking self-publicity? And, why some politicians, who were lying low for almost four years, are suddenly active? Is it just because the assembly elections are round the corner? Politicians who are trying to showcase themselves have practically not bothered to do anything worthwhile when it comes to real development and they should not be entertained. They should be rejected outright and permanently retired by the voters of Saligao for deliberately neglecting the village for years.

Also, destroying Goa’s forests and killing Goans with coal pollution also amounts to being anti-national.
