BJP once again blamed Congress for bringing in off-shore casinos in Goa and claimed that they had already asked the Chief Minister to take a decision on the issue at the earliest.
While political parties contesting the Panjim by-poll have made removal of casinos from River Mandovi their main issue, the BJP has made no mention of the same in their assurances.
“We once again say we have not given licences to any casinos in the State. It is Congress which has brought them into Goa,” he stated.
However, Tendulkar added that the party has taken up the issue with CM.
“If need be and people do not want we will shut the casino business,” Tenulkar said. He said the BJP-led government is with the people and if need be they will shut the land casinos too.
“We will go with what people say,” he said.
