MARGAO: The Goa Pradesh Congress President Girish Chodankar has alleged that the BJP government is purposely delaying the resumption of mining to forcibly compel the three lakh mining dependents to opt for other source of incomes and then the corrupt BJP government will hand over the mines to the crony club of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
His attack on the BJP government comes at a time when around 5,000 mining dependents marched in Panjim, on Monday, demanding resumption of mining activities.
“The Goans will never forget the sufferings of these mining dependents for last nine years which are forced on them by the in insensitive and greedy BJP Government,” he said.
“I want to remind the people of Goa that former Chief Minister late Manohar Parrikar had accepted on record that he had stopped mining activities in 2012. He took the decision compromising interest of Goa for future benefits of Modi’s crony club.
