CM times assurances just before Lok Sabha polls

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant is currently seen moving around with big offers in different parts of the state and desperately trying to hypnotise/woo our gullible Goans by giving his own verbal assurances/promises on a variety of issues i.e. dual citizenship issue, legalising illegal houses and businesses in coastal areas, particularly those  constructed/established prior to 1991 etc, keeping an eye on the fast-approaching Lok Sabha elections in Goa. Well, Sawant on Tuesday was heard  promising of taking a strong action against those playing loud music post 10 pm near residential areas of Anjuna-Vagator. Now, where was Sawant all this while? Could he not hear the cries of all the locals of Anjuna-Vagator area despite of they presenting several memorandums with regards to noise pollution problem all these years?  I think CM Sawant should stop fooling the people from the above beach belt area by giving his own verbal assurances because this menace of loud music in particular has been going on (despite all the denials) at many such places for years with the full backing/support of some of our own elected political leaders from the beach belt areas from different (which includes the current BJP regime) ruling governments in Goa.
