In yet another action demonstrating government’s misdirected and frankly doubtful priorities, Rs 100 crore is sought to be spent on Goa Liberation Day celebrations.
A cash strapped government, which is continuously increasing Goa’s debts, is wanting to fritter away the already scant resources.
While there is a glaring lack of infrastructure should we be wasting our resources on celebrations?
With the raging pandemic, shouldn’t our priorities be health care affordable to common man, RT-PCR tests at subsidised costs? Our infrastructure - roads, garbage disposal and a host of others are begging for attention.
The electorate needs to keep in mind such frivolous actions of the government during our next opportunity to get better governance.
