MARGAO: Goans for Goa (GFG) has condemned GPCC chief Luizinho Faleiro for “fooling the people of Goa by making impossible promises of giving freebies.”
GFG was responding to Faleiro’s recent promise that the on Congress would give free water and electricity to the poor, if elected to form government. He also promised that the Congress would subsidise these amenities to the middle class.
These promises of the Congress chief are false and aimed at only winning elections. Faleiro never be able to fulfil these promises, GFG President Kennedy Afonso said.
Last week, Faleiro accused the BJP government of landing the State in a debt trap and placing a heavy debt burden of Rs 93,000 on every child born in Goa.
“The GPCC chief said that the public debt in Goa had touched Rs 13,000 crore and the growth rate had slowed down form 15 percent to minus 2 per cent. If this is the financial scenario of Goa, how come Luizinho is promising all these freebies to the poor and the middle class? asked Kennedy.
