PANJIM: Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte on Sunday said Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant should be solely blamed for the spike in COVID-19 cases in the State.
Taking to social media, Khaunte questioned the CM over the Rajdhani trains – which he had announced would not stop at Margao.
“Has Dr Pramod Sawant lost his control over his position? Why were Goans kept in dark over Rajdhani taking halt? Why did he lie? He is to be solely blamed for upsurge in COVID-19 cases in the State,” Khaunte said.
He said that this “was the darkest day for Goa as we realise that Centre has no respect for our CMO Goa. COVID Express still took halt on Saturday. Centre is making our CM a #Pappu! Goa scores half century in active cases.”
He also criticised the CM for not listening to the advise of Health Minister Vishwajit Rane.
“Pramod Sawant showing adamant behaviour by not respecting Vishwajit P Rane suggestion of COVID-19 negative certificate for air passengers clearly reflects his intentions to make Goa hide out for people from COVID red zones,” he charged.
