Margao – Crores are spent on Events. Sadly, intellectually bankrupt BJP Government’s Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant has no money to release Advertisements & organise a State Level Function to mark begining of Centenary of Great Goan, Dnyanpeeth Awardee Ravindrabab Kelekar. Learn to respect Goan Heroes!, stated Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao.
I had reminded the Government about the Birth Centenary Year of acclaimed Goan Konkani Poet & Writer Manoharrai Sardessai and Dnyanpeeth Awardee Ravindrabab Kelekar. It is sad that Government has ignored such tall Icons of Goa, charged Yuri Alemao.
It is the responsibility of the Government to Celebrate Goan Heroes. Government has no right to ignore Goans while celebrating National Heroes.I demand that Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant should stop his selective approach and perform his duties as Chief Minister & not as RSS Pracharak, said Yuri Alemao.
I am happy that Governor of Goa P S Sreedharan Pillai accepted the fact that Ravindrabab’s Centenary starts in 2024 and accepted the invitation to be the Chief Guest for Road Naming Ceremony at Priol today to mark the begining of Centenary of Ravindra Kelekar.
I urge Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant to seek advice from Factually Correct persons and stop making Goof-ups on Dates & Years. I had corrected Dr. Pramod Sawant in the last Assembly Session when he claimed that Centenary of Manoharbab and Ravindrabab starts in 2025, pointed Yuri Alemao.
Government must immediately prepare Year Long Programme to commemorate Centenaries of Sardessai and Kelekar. This should include promoting their Literature in other Languages, Organise Literary Meets, Publish their Unpublished Work and also giving them due recognition in the Goa Legislative Assembly Complex, stated Yuri Alemao.
