PANJIM: Demanding an apology from the Congress for likening Goans to pigs, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday also sought a clear statement from the ruling BJP on the cannabis cultivation in the State.
AAP Goa Convenor Rahul Mhambre alleged that the BJP leaders are speaking in different languages merely to confuse the people as they have already struck a deal with drug mafia to fill their pockets.
“BJP Union Minister Shripad Naik proposes cultivation of cannabis in the State, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant says cannabis plantation is not allowed at the moment, but then Power Minister Nilesh Cabral says cannabis will be cultivated. So what exactly is the truth,” he asked.
He pointed out that a union minister proposed it, a State minister says they will do it and the by now established habitual liar says it will not be done and wondered whom to believe.
“The ‘fotting’ chief minister cannot be believed as he has been lying all along,” he charged.
AAP’s Surel Tilve alleged that the BJP has already struck a deal with the drug mafia to cultivate cannabis in the State and what is happening at the moment is just a ‘nautanki’ to hoodwink the people while in reality in 2021, the Goans will realise that marijuana plantation has already come up.
“Just as the Labour Gate Scam documents will be fudged to show that the cannabis is sold for medicinal purpose when in reality it will be provided to the drug mafia to sell in the open market to drug addicts and also to make others addicted to it,” Surel charged.
Taking strong exception to the Congress likening the Goans to pigs, AAP said this is the reward that the Congress is giving the Goans who allowed it to rule them for so long.
He pointed out that Aashish Kamat of the Congress has very clearly and loudly said “the pigs are Goans”.
Further, in a Facebook post, Aashish wondered “which pigs elect such pigs” implying that the Goans who elected the Congress MLAs who defected to the BJP were pigs as were the MLAs who defected.
