Panaji, Jan 1: Shiv Sena in Goa has welcomed the gesture of CM Manohar Parrikar to attend office on the first day of the year, but has said that similar action should have been followed by other ministers.
“Parrikar’s arrival at Secretariat should be taken as an inspiration by the rest of the inefficient cabinet ministers who have failed to govern the state contributing to the woes of the people living in the State,” Shiv Sena Goa Spokesman Rakhi Prabhudesai Naik reacted.
She said that this year, Sena expects the government to solve the crisis faced by the mining industry which has been demanding resumption of the activity. The people dependent on this industry are waiting with eagerness for the Centre to find a solution and for that the ministers in the state government should make all out efforts.
“Sena also expects the doubts over the fish be cleared once for all and the state government should certify that the fish that is being sold in Goa’s market is free from formalin. Health minister Vishwajit Rane should come clear on what mechanism he has put in place in the markets to test the fish that is imported in the state. she added.
“We also expect the tourism minister Manohar Ajgaonkar to urgently meet tourism stakeholders and understand their problems. Try to know why international travelers have shown their back to Goa’s beaches and what can be done to make Goa a not so expensive destination.
“The ministers should get down to their jobs as soon as possible as mere enthusiasm of the chief minister is not enough to take the governance ahead.
"The minister like Nilesh Cabral should pull up his sleeves and work on reducing the woes of the power consumers.
“We also expect that the New Year will come with a non-corrupt police force who will respect Human Rights and stop asserting their powers on innocent people by beating them up in custody. Sena also expects police to deal with an iron hand against law breakers who go around mercilessly hitting people.”
