Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Amit Patkar has compared the state’s Law and Judiciary Minister Nilesh Cabral to French queen Marie Antoniette after the latter asked people to buy e-vehicles instead of complaining about rising fuel prices.
“It reminds us of a French monarch telling people ‘if you cannot afford bread, eat cake’. This is what the BJP minister is telling the Goans. This attitude comes from the arrogance of power,” he said.
On Wednesday, Cabral had said: “So, we have to make a change in ourselves. I will advise people to buy electrical vehicles and start moving around in them so that you can save money and save the environment also.
