Panaji: Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao on Friday said that today’s budget would be the last of the BJP government. He asserted that the people of Goa will never give them power again for ruining the state and will show them the door for their arrogance, anti-people projects, and disregard for democracy.
Alemao said the government has miserably failed to control borrowings and repay debt. It gives hollow promises and spends taxpayers’ money on events for commissions.
Instead of diverting attention, the government should focus on tackling corruption at ministerial and administrative levels, conversion of lands under Section 39A, shifting of casinos, and controlling public borrowing while reducing public debt, Alemao said.
He added that Congress, after coming to power, will focus on employment in the industry and service sector, education for skills and employability, ease of business and ease of citizens, and protection and preservation of the environment.
Alemao also criticised a BJP minister for threatening to paralyse the capital city by bringing 40,000 people from Sattari. He noted that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant remained silent on such threats while filing FIRs against common people protesting for their rights.
This, Alemao said, makes it evident how the state cabinet is functioning and highlights the collapse of law and order in the state.
