Will review Goa govt’s performance periodically: Sardesai

Panaji: The Goa Forward Party Tuesday
said it would periodically review the performance of the state
government under Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.
The GFP, with three MLAs, is an ally in the BJP-led
state government and its president Vijai Sardesai is one of
the two deputy chief ministers in it.
Sardesai said his party had kept its word to Manohar
Parrikar, who died Sunday, to keep the coalition in the state
intact.
“Words cannot express the deep sense of loss I feel
personally. I find solace in the fact that I have kept my word
to my chief minister till the end, even though this is not the
way I wanted it to end,” Sardesai said.
“We will have periodical review of our achievements
from here on. If we find something amiss, we will adopt
corrective measures,” he said.
He said the government’s intention was to continue
with the development work seen under Parrikar.
Praising Parrikar, he said, “I stand vindicated seeing
the development of Goa under Parrikar. Our faith in each other
helped us overcome adversities and work towards the good of
Goa.”
He said stability is critical for the coastal state’s
progress.
