Liberate Goa from drugs, bad roads; then celebrate

Some BJP leaders along with their party workers were seen carrying their annual cleanliness drive at a few selective locations and doing a one-day photo-session  on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday. Why don't these leaders carry their cleanliness drives every year on PM Modi’s birthday outside the Mapusa fish market area, Panaji fish market area, Panaji Kadamba bus stand area, near Sonsodo or near the outside area of the Saligao waste treatment plant at the Saligao-Calangute plateau? And why do these BJP leaders want people to take part in these exercises on PM Modi's birthday every year when the same man, despite of ruling this country for the last 11 years is seen deliberately refusing to show his degree certificates, refusing to share any details of PM-Cares Fund, refusing to take a single press conference with genuine media-persons/reporters? I think that the BJP leaders should first go to liberate the state from the filth of drugs, casinos, prostitution, repair all the pothole-ridden roads, provide Goans with uninterrupted power/water supply and then go to indulge in the above one-day photo-session  on his birthday in Goa.
