Three free gas cylinders in a year for every Goa household, resumption of mining in six months, making the state a premier destination for co-working spaces and remote working post pandemic, and enabling it to become a USD 50 billion economy in a decade. These are among 22 pledges made by the ruling BJP in its manifesto for the 14 February state Assembly polls.
Releasing the manifesto at a hotel in Panaji Tuesday, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said the Congress’s poll promise of capping petrol price at Rs 80 per litre was “bluff”. “In two years the price of electric vehicles and petrol vehicles will be the same….I was surprised that Congress has assured petrol at Rs 80 per litre. They must’ve misunderstood.
