Reclaim Goa from clutches of our political vultures

Our Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has been recently posting clips asking Goenkars not to believe in the videos circulating on social media which are critical of him. According to him these are meant to defame him and the double engine sarkar which is purportedly doing good work for the benefit of all Goans. Recently two senior ministers of his cabinet Subhash Shirodkar and Rohan Khaunte held a press conference to emphasize that they stand with the CM. Tons of skeletons are tumbling out of his closet especially as regards to the environmentally destructive mega projects in Sancoale, Bicholim, Zuari Nagar, Salvador do Mundo and Reis Magos by builders from the north like Bhutani, DLF, Lodhas, Tarun Tahiliani and others. The Investment Promotion and Facilitation Board (IPB) headed by Sawant is a special purpose vehicle for promoting megascams, land grabbing and subsequent transferring of it to real estate sharks who are butchering Goa. It is heartening to note that the common man has taken to the streets against such criminality and skullduggery being indulged in by the sarkar.  It is time to reclaim Goa from the clutches of political vultures.
