PORVORIM: As the support pour in for Shel-Melauli villagers, protesting against the proposed IIT Goa project, the Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant has once again said that govt is open for dialogues with the villagers.
However, Sawant maintained that let the villagers visit him to Panaji for talks, as in the past, on two occasions, he had travelled to Shel-Melauli for discussions.
“I will not go to Melauli again. I have held meetings with them thrice. Even went to Melauli once but they are adamant. Maybe they want to come to meet but somebody is instigating them,” said CM Sawant
Earlier, BJP State president Sadanand Shet Tanavade ruled out the Chief Minister visiting Shel-Melauli again to hold talks with the people.
“Neither CM will go there nor will the party allow him to go. Being the president of BJP, I will request CM Sawant to not visit and hold talks with Melauli villagers because earlier he had already visited there two times and yet the villagers haven’t agreed,” Tanavade had said
