Panaji, Jun 1: Opposition leader Digambar Kamat and state Congress president Girish Chodankar have written to President Ram Nath Kovind urging him to immediately appoint a full-time governor for Goa stating that the absence of the constitutional authority has resulted in chaos, mismanagement and misrule by the BJP government.

"It appears as if the Centre has ignored Goa or forgotten us," said Kamat. He said that it was unfortunate that as Goa observed its 35th Statehood Day, the state remained without a full-time governor who could proactively address the concerns of Goans.

Indicating the centre showing apathy towards the people of Goa, Kamat said, "Although the cyclone had a devastating effect, PM Narendra Modi did not show courtesy to conduct an aerial survey nor announce any package."

The letter stated that despite opposition parties submitting memorandums and expressing concern to the governor of Goa and Maharashtra Bhagat Singh Koshyari, the concerns were not addressed.
