The government yet to earn trust of people

The ministers, MLAs and even the ex-Congress defectors are  asking  Goans to trust and have faith in the Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and the Goa government as they are working for the best interests on the Mhadei issue!.  The CM and Forest Minister rejected the Tiger Reserve which could have been one of the strongest case for Goa on  Mhadei.

With all of these facts can we really trust the Goa ministers to work for the best interests of Goa and Goans? Can we have faith in such a government which is busy selling/destroying Goa on multiple fronts?
