Panaji, Apr 13: The congress slammed the BJP led government in Goa headed by chief minister Pramod Sawant pointing out that constituting of the special committee for economic revival has ignored the hardships and concerns of the common man. The party said that the BJP was once again trying to promote crony capitalism by appointing businessmen and industrialists in the committee.

State congress secretary general Amarnath Panjikar said, "The names in the committee comprise industrialists, entrepreneurs and businessmen, most of whom are interested parties who will try to take maximum benefits from the revival package. The committee has no representation for small business like gaadas, professions like motorcycle pilots, rickshaws, podders and bakers, bars and taverns, labour union, barbers and various others who make a living on day-to-day earnings.

He also added that the PM had been waving off loans of big industrialists while ignoring the deserving farmers.
