CM counters job scam attack with 'toolkit of jealousy' jibe

At the backdrop of a personal attack on him and his wife in connection with multi-crore jobs-for-cash scam, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Thursday said that his government has been making tremendous progress by overcoming personal criticism, pre-conceived notions, and the "toolkit of jealousy."

Sawant was speaking while addressing the State on 63rd Goa Liberation Day, wherein he maintained that the organization of the Exposition of the relics of St Francis Xavier sends a message of peace, unity and harmony to the world.

The Chief Minister said that his government was working towards making the dream of the freedom fighters a reality through an all-inclusive growth.

"We are giving positive governance, surpassing personal criticism, preconceived notions, and the toolkit of jealousy. "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas are the hallmark of the BJP rule," he said while adding that his government is committed to make the State Vikasit Goa by 2037.
