GPCC President Girish Chodankar demanded that Health Minister Vishwajit Rane be sacked immediately for being incompetent.
“The Health Minister should be booked for negligence of the duty and wrongful priorities. The BJP should own up and admit to Goans for having lied to them that Goa was COVID-free and apologize for the spike in such high number of cases,” said Chodankar.
Chodankar pointed out that with 570 new cases of COVID-19 being detected on August 13, 415 on August 11 and 506 cases on August 9; it is clear that despite the effort to control ‘official data’ in terms of reported cases, the Health Minister has not only failed to control the spike but also has been lying consistently since March 2020 about his dept’s preparedness to control the pandemic.
