“Pramod Fiddles as Goa Drowns”: Congress VP Criticizes CM’s Absence During Kala Academy Rain Crisis

Amidst torrential rains causing havoc at the iconic Kala Academy in Goa, Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant finds himself under fire for his absence from the scene, with reports surfacing of his engagement in campaign activities in Delhi. In a scathing remark, Congress Vice President Sunil Kawthankar likened the situation to the infamous phrase “Nero fiddled as Rome burned,” suggesting that Sawant’s absence mirrored a neglect of duty during a critical time for the state.

“The attitude of the Goa BJP seems to echo a sentiment of ‘Let Goans go to hell,’ prioritizing party interests over public welfare,” Kawthankar remarked. As Goa battles the deluge, the absence of the Chief Minister has drawn sharp criticism, with many questioning the government’s commitment to addressing the pressing issues facing the state.
