6 MLAs including three ministers to go to Rio de Janeiro
- 5 years ago
The opposition on Thursday came down heavily on the Goa government's decision to organise a Rs. 89 lakh junket for six ruling legislators, including three ministers, to witness the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Goa's top football player and Arjuna award-winner Bruno Coutinho was disappointed as his name was dropped from the list in favour of a politician, even as ruling MLA Benjamin Silva put the onus on sports minister Ramesh Tawadkar and chief minister Manohar Parrikar for the decision to include only legislators on the junket.
"On one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been openly advocating not to misuse public funds, but his party's chief minister in Goa has contradicted Modi's view by approving a junket for his MLAs," Congress spokesperson Durgadas Kamat said.
