Panaji: Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is currently on a tour of Goa. He interacted with the media through a press conference. Rahul Gandhi said, “Immediately after coming to power, we are planning to restore mining in Goa in a permanent and legal manner.” “This time we will get a solid majority and we will take immediate action to ensure that we have a government in Goa,” said Rahul Gandhi.
At this time, Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of diverting the attention of the people of Goa from real issues like environment and employment. The Congress leader also criticized Prime Minister Modi’s statement that Goa could have been liberated “within a few hours” in 1947 if Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru wanted it.

Gandhi said that the Prime Minister does not understand the situation at that time and what was happening after the Second World War. Addressing an election rally in Mapusa, near here, ahead of the February 14 assembly elections, Modi had said that it took 15 years for the Congress government to free Goa from Portuguese rule.
