Expressing shock at the shooting that took place at a casino in Porvorim, AAP Goa President Valmiki Naik placed the blame on the growing gun culture and law and order problems squarely on CM Dr Pramod Sawant & stated that Goa no longer has a Chief Minister but a Crime Minister.
Addressing the media after the morning after the shocking incident Valmiki Naik stated that a culture of guns & casino related crimes is becoming rampant under the BJP, while criminals now consider Goa a prime location to either commit crimes or hide out from the law. He narrated an incident where 2 criminals were found "chilling" in Goa after committing a crime.
He stated that it looked like the Chief Minister who also holds the home ministry portfolio seems to have completely abdicated his responsibility in law and order if a shoot out can happen right in front of the North Goa Police HQ.
He further said that this shooting took place just 2 days before the assembly session when security protocols should be at the max in Porvorim. He highlighted that Pramod Sawant seems to only think that preventive measures are for protesters and not criminals.
AAP Goa Vice President Manuel Cardoso said that Goa's reputation as a tourist destination is at stake, adding that if a big businessman is not safe a stones throw from the assembly and North Goa HQ how will tourists feel safe.
AAP leader Jack Sukhija stated that the gun culture that has taken hold under the BJP must be eradicated.
