Goans will not tolerate lies from those in power

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant feigning ignorance over that controversial Old Goa project is outrageous. The whole world knows that the construction with dubious permissions is being carried out by Mumbai-based developer Manish Munot, who is the husband of BJP spokesperson Shaina NC. Obviously with political blessings it is being built in rank violation of all laws within a UNESCO world heritage precinct. Those in power and authority should be always truthful and never lie. But Sawant has been lying with impunity.

Not long ago he falsely claimed that Goa was the first State to have ensured 102% vaccination of the first dose of the COVID vaccine which was far from truth. The Chief Minister had the rank audacity to deceitfully declare Goa as Open Defecation Free (ODF) from August 31, 2019. It is over two long years down the road and the very sordid ground reality is there for all to see with people urinating and even defecating out in the open everywhere.
We have lost count of the Chief Minister’s lies but the astute people of Goa are no fools to be hoodwinked and brainwashed by his false facts, figures and statements.
