‘Double standards on dual airport issue’

Murgao: United Goans Democratic Party vice-president Radharao Gracias criticized the new Congress state president Luizinho Faleiro for displaying double standards on the dual airport issue. He also called for the resignation of environment minister Alina Saldanha.

While addressing mediapersons on Friday, Gracias said that it was Faleiro who had supported the Mopa airport during the former Congress government's tenure, and that the project was ushered in with their efforts.

Gracias said that he did not know whether Faleiro had changed his mind now, but demanded that the latter, as the state Congress president, should make his stand clear and publicly oppose Mopa.

He added that the Congress partymen should also take to the streets if they really oppose the airport.
