Panaji: Upping the ante, Vijay Sardesai, Independent MLA, on Thursday demanded that the Ministers in the BJP-led coalition government who attended the ‘anti-Mopa airport’ public meeting in Margao on Wednesday should resign if the State government failed to scrap the proposal.
Mr. Sardesai, who is closely associated with the demand to scrap the Mopa airport proposal in north Goa, was speaking to presspersons in the backdrop of the meeting at Lohia Maidan on Wednesday.
Minister for Environment and Forests Alina Saldanha and Fisheries Minister and Independent MLA for Navelim Avertano Furtado attended the meeting organised by ‘Goans for Dabolim Only’. Among the four other MLAs, who were also present at the rally, two support the government — Independent MLA for Velim Benjamin Silva and Goa Vikas Party MLA Caetan Silva.
