Panaji: Attacking the State government over inadequate public transport in the state, the Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao on Sunday stated that BJP would have to opt for ‘tow service’ for its ‘double engine’ as it has developed an irreparable snag.
Reacting to the statement of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant that people should opt for public transport to avoid accidents on roads, Alemao said “Had the government provided adequate transport service, people would have preferred it. It has failed to bring change despite engaging private buses under the ‘Mhaji Bus’ scheme”
“We don’t have adequate facilities and buses to run on routes across the state. The government is busy boasting fake achievements and has ignored public transport. It has failed to revamp Kadamba Transport Corporation and bring it in profits despite bringing electrical buses under its fleet,” Alemao stated.
He said that people are killed in road accidents due to the condition of roads. “Our roads are not safe for the two-wheelers. There are thousands of potholes still waiting to be mended. Government is not focusing on this issue, but trying to divert people from this pressing issue,” Alemao said.
“Do people get bus service after 9 pm? How do people travel during the night? The ‘Mhaji Bus’ scheme failed to provide proper service. Pramod Sawant should not do it for the namesake. But he should take constructive steps to bring innovative ideas, so it can help industrial workers travelling for second and third shifts during night time,” he said.
Alemao said that the Chief Minister had promised to operate buses during nighttime, once the ‘Mhaji Bus’ scheme is started.
“This government does only events by launching programs, which are defunct after inauguration. Same is the fate of Mhaji Bus scheme,” Alemao charged.
