Mapuca – The insensitive & irresponsible BJP Government headed by defective Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant has once again proved its Anti-Goan Agenda by restricting the traditional Goan Religious Festivals and giving a free hand to Political Celebrations charged Goa Pradesh Congress Committee General Secretary Amarnath Panjikar.
The failure of the BJP Government to take strict action against all those responsible for insulting Maratha’s till now proves the disrespect of BJP to Great Ruler Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Today happens to be the Punya Teethi of the founder of Maratha Kingdom. Unfortunately, the irresponsible Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant has not even reacted to the act of Tourism Department of terming Maratha Warriors as Invaders. We condemn the act of the Chief Minister and demand that he must sack Tourism Minister Manohar alias Babu Ajgaonkar stated Amarnath Panajikar.
GPCC General Secretary Amarnath Panjikar came down heavily on Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant and Mandrem MLA Dayanand Sopte for organising birthday celebrations by violating the SOP of Covid-19 Pandemic. He produced video and photograph to prove his charge where in hundreds of people including CM Sawant, MLA Dayanand Sopte, BJP President Sadanand Tanawade, Rajya Sabha MP Vinay Tendulkar, Shiroda MLA Subhash Shirodkar are seen sitting without mask and not maintaining social distance thus violating Covid-19 guidelines. He addressed a press conference at Mapuca in the presence of North Goa District Congress General Secretary Sachin Parab and Mapuca Block Youth Congress President Himanshu Tivrekar.
The North Goa Collector issued a notification imposing Section 144 of Code of Criminal Procedure banning public celebrations and gathering and congregations during the upcoming festivals of Holi, Shab–e–Barat, Easter, and Eid-ul-Fitr etc. at public places/public grounds/public parks/markets etc. This notification clearly exposes that the BJP Government wanted to restrict participation of devotees in the traditional Religious Festivals like Shigmotsav, Gade Utsav, Romta Mel, Easter Mass, Eid Celebrations etc. stated Amarnath Panjikar.
Chief Minister must explain to the people of Goa whether the BJP Cadre who attended the birthday celebrations at Mandrem were given special Covid Vaccines or whether the BJP is now immune to Covid infection. The Collector of North Goa must file cases against the Chief Minister and all those who attended the birthday celebration at Mandrem yesterday violating Covid Protocol demanded Amarnath Panjikar.
The people of Goa have lost all hopes in the most insensitive BJP Government which is busy in gross corruption. This Government is all out to glorify Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his fake Jumla Politics. In the bargain, they have forgotten the glorious history of our country said Amarnath Panjikar.
