Chief Minister Pramod Sawant while speaking at a programme organized to inaugurate the new Sant Andre panchayat ghar at Goa Velha recently was heard fully batting for the marina project (the controversial project planned at Nauxi and which will not only be a facility to park pleasure boats, yachts, and small vessels used for tourism, but it will also include other facilities for 'holidaying' and urging the people not to oppose such projects unnecessarily. When casino ships have still not been able to employ a large number of our youth and give them decent salaries, when the Mopa Airport too has miserably failed to give guaranteed jobs for youth from Pernem, how can Sawant say that the marina project and other such planned projects will do wonders for our youth in future? I think that Sawant should first try to bring out a list of Goans who are currently employed in all the casino ships, newly set-up industries like factories, starred hotels, Mopa Airport and other big projects & then start selling his dreams to all the gullible Goans.
