“I slam the Goa Government for roping in Social Media influencers for promotions at the cost of taxpayers, calls it a “WhatsApp university promotion for promoting themselves,” said Ferreira.
He further questioned why does Government need influencers, the government should stand up and explain their achievements.
“If some influencers are giving negative publicity to Goa, then they should be put behind bars, but If they are showing something correct and pointing out irregularities,” he added.
Adv Carlos said that the Government should not get offended rather they should see that they take corrective actions.
