VASCO: South Goa MP Captain Viriato Fernandes has strongly criticised the BJP government, accusing it of misleading Goans over the purpose of the Hospet–Vasco-da-Gama double tracking project.
Fernandes said the recent announcement by the Union government regarding the opening of the double track has only “confirmed and exposed the lies and deceit” that the BJP in Goa has indulged in since the lockdown.
“From the very beginning of our opposition to the double tracking, the Sawant government kept saying that the project was meant for passengers and not for coal. Today’s announcement has proved otherwise,” said Fernandes.
He further alleged that the BJP in Goa was functioning as a “30 percent sarkar” and assured that Goans would not allow the state to become a coal transportation hub. “The people of Goa will throw out the corrupt 30 percent sarkar in Goa and ensure that coal transportation is stopped and Mormugao Port Authority is brought back from Adani’s private control to the public sector,” Fernandes stated.
Taking a dig at the central government, Fernandes said, “Goa will never bow down to Modani’s Gujarat model run by the corrupt SOS — Sold Out Sarkar — in Porvorim.”
