MARGAO: Goans For Dabolim Only (GFDO) has alleged that the BJP government took away the Environment and Forest portfolios from Alina Saldanha as it wanted to push its agenda of promoting mega projects that had been rejected by the people. He also called for people to reject the “liar government” in the 2017 Assembly elections.
GFDO has also criticized Saldanha for not doing enough to protect the interests of people in issues like the Tiracol golf course project, Mopa and other mega projects.
“The government wants to dilute the Goan voters by bringing in foreign voters and immigrants to push their agendas,” said GFDO convenor Father Eremito Rebello, adding, “Was Sudin Dhavalikar clean and highly qualified to retain his Ministry and Alina not worth anything to lose it?”
“If the Investment Promotion Board changes rules and the laws of the land, then authorities like the district collector and TCP won’t have any power. It will bring in Jungle Raj in Goa. We will challenge this in court and make sure the cruel interests of the government do not survive,” said Adv Avinash Tavares, of UGF.
GFDO has urged Saldanha to take to the streets and object to the faulty policies of the government.
