State govt is wasting crores on some useless events

The leader of opposition Yuri Alemao and Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai whilst speaking on the floor of the house in the ongoing Assembly session on Tuesday has reportedly slammed the Pramod Sawant led BJP government for unnecessarily wasting crores of taxpayer's monies in organizing various events in the State and has rightly demanded a House Committee to investigate the tendering process employed in organizing all such useless events in the last three years in Goa.

Unfortunately, CM Pramod Sawant has outrightly rejected this demand and has claimed that these events were tendered as per the set procedures. Now, if what Sawant has said is 100% true then why he has flatly refused to form a House Committee to seriously investigate all such events in Goa?

I think that the reason why the BJP government is frequently seen raising even the electricity/water bills under flimsy excuses and wasting crores of public funds in organizing such useless events then that's only to do the self glorification of their Modi-Shah government and to continuously loot the hard-earned money/savings of our people.
