PM says erstwhile regimes had turned the State into ‘an ATM for their corruption’
Alleging that the Congress under former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s leadership had tried to ‘destroy’ the Goa liberation movement that was fighting to shake off the Portuguese yoke, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday lambasted the Congress for never having understood “Goa’s political culture, its aspirations or the dreams of its youth.”
Addressing a rally at Mapusa in north Goa on the penultimate day of election campaigning, Mr. Modi again raked up his recent accusations against the Congress under Nehru of having allegedly delayed Goa’s liberation (finally achieved on December 19, 1961) for nearly 15 years since the country’s Independence in 1947.
