VASCO: Goencho Avaaz on Wednesday slammed the Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant, Health Minister Vishwajit Rane and the cabinet for focusing their energies on infighting and playing politics, even as death stalked Goans in the shape of the dreaded COVID pandemic due to the government’s “consistent incompetence and mismanagement”.
In a press statement, Goencho Avaaz said, “It was a real shame that those in responsible positions were spending more time in passing the buck and playing the blame game instead of doing everything possible to save lives.”
“Because of this government’s ‘inability and unwillingness’ to get its act together, thousands of innocent Goans have needlessly lost their lives” said Goencho Avaaz State convenor Viriato Fernandes.
He said lack of oxygen and the complete collapse of the health system have exposed the hollow claims of the Sawant government. This is the time when the chief minister should be applying his mind to alleviate the woes of his people in Goa by creating additional hospital space, adequate oxygen and infrastructure. Instead he occupies himself by sending Goa’s scarce oxygen to Sindhudurg.
