PORVORIM: Indirectly extending his support to MPT’s proposed coal berth expansion project, BJP MLA Sidharth Kuncalienker on Tuesday slammed those opposing the project stating “don’t just oppose for sake of opposition”.
“Now a days there is opposition for everything you propose to do. Take the example like proposed IIT at Loliem… there is opposition. It is an educational institution that intends to come up there and I don’t see any reason for people to oppose an educational project,” Kuncalienker told the State Legislative Assembly.
“There was opposition even to Saligao waste treatment plant, national highway expansion and now there is opposition to coal. Coal is integral part of electricity, we need power… just cannot keep opposing for sake of opposition,” the Panjim MLA said.
“I feel such opposition should not take place. You cannot keep opposing everything,” he said hinting at Congress’ support to people protesting coal handling at MPT.
Kuncalienker was speaking during the discussion and passing of Goa Goods and Services Tax Bill, 2017 (GST) on the Floor of the House.
