Team Herald

PANJIM: Almost a day after the volunteers, activists and members of the Aam Aadmi Party were arrested for holding a protest in front of the official residence of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant at Altinho in Panjim, Adv Surel Tilve, spokesperson and leader of Aam Aadmi Party put forth 5 questios to the CM Sawant on behalf of Goans and asked to give answers to the questions.

“Yesterday was a trailer, we will increase our momentum to highlight the issues of Goa, cum what may it is we the Volunteers of AAP will not leave any stones unturned for our rights. Goa is for Goans and we will keep reminding this to the Govt who is busy working in the interest of Adani”, alleged Surel Tilve.

Tilve said that Aam Aadmi Party stands with people of Goa and will always stand with Goans. Goa's fate should be decided by Goans and not any Adanis or even the BJP leaders sitting in Delhi. 

1. Why did you not ask Goans before allowing double track project for Adanis?  

2. People feel that this project will not bring any benefit to Goans. Kindly name one benefit that Goans will have due to this project. 

3. Are you personally, along with your family, willing to stay near the tracks to suffer the consequences of coal transport?   

4. Why did you surrender the interests of Goans and put their lives and health at risk on the orders of Delhi BJP leaders? Does it now show that you don't care for Goans? 

5. What are your relations with Adanis? What are BJP's relations with Adanis? How much have Adanis donated to BJP party and its leaders in last five years?  

Mr Pramod Sawant, people of Goa have fought many battles in the past and have made huge sacrifices to preserve Goan identity and culture. We Goans will not let that go in vain. GOA IS FOR GOANS, not for Adanis. Goans have suffered a lot during Congress and BJP regimes when decisions about Goa were taken in Delhi against the wishes of Goans. Enough is enough. Goans will not tolerate this anymore.  

Mr Pramod Sawant, now, Goans will decide for Goa. Decisions about Goa will be taken by Goans and not BJP or Congress leaders sitting in Delhi, Adv. Tilve stated.
