Accusing Dr Pramod Sawant led government for mismanaged COVID situation in the State leading to death of 60 people, Porvorim Independent MLA Rohan Khaunte has given call for change in State leadership.
In his personal blog, Khaunte has said that Sawant is truly a ‘Accidental CM’ and this Accident has proved to be a Fatal Disaster for Goa, especially in these pandemic times.
“it’s perhapsthe first time in the history of independent Goa that so many precious lives have been lost within such a short time. It needs to be stressed upon that these ghastly figures are not just a reflection of the pandemic that’s wreaking havoc around the world but also signifies Absolute Mismanagement by our Government under the immature and careless leadership of Pramod Sawant,” he said.
Former Minister claims that it is sad to note that even after 60 precious lives being lost, the CM is conveniently ignoring the catastrophic escalations and going around with usual business and even thinking of building a new Raj Bhavan.
“Goa is left with no other option but to call for a step down or change in leadership to deliver Goans from the ever escalating infections and deaths,” he demanded.
Further Khaunte said that Effective Preparedness of Government machinery and Availability of Prompt Medical Facilities are of prime importance in combating a pandemic but sadly, our Government failed to have the foresight despite warnings from elected representatives and experts in the field.
“This Government has totally failed on Pandemic Crisis Management due to which we are now faced with lack of medical facilities, beds, isolation units, shortage of medical staff, uncontrolled rate of infections and death all around,” he maintained.
Khaunte charged government of fraudulent suppression of Covid facts & figures, projecting a false bravado etc to give a ‘Nothing to Worry in Goa’ picture to the Central Bosses has all backfired on hapless Goans who are now paying for all this with their precious lives.
“Goa has to come out of this vicious cycle of carelessness, mismanagement, corruption and lack of governance all around. We cannot go on sacrificing lives because of the incompetence of a single person who lacks minimal compassion and concern for the continuous suffering of Goans,” he said
