Have a Heart, Mr Power Minister We are against coal transportation because we do not want to breathe in coal dust for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
And, it is not 10 (as you say) people who are protesting, sir. When was the last time you visited Vasco da Gama? No, it is not ten people but lakhs of people who are affected by the coal dust as of now - and want the transportation of coal stopped fully! If you doubt me, then please address a meeting and explain your confused thinking at a mammoth meeting (it will definitely be on a grand scale) you can be sure of it! People do no like to have coal pollution where they live, they do not like to have coal enter their living space, nor do they want to see the white walls of their houses turn black. Not ten people, sir, but ten lakh people are against transportation of coal in Goa. If you do not believe me hold public meetings in all the big urban areas in our state to get a more comprehensive and panoramic view of the problem. It is not enough to give your personal opinion on TV or speak to a few journalists. Karnataka has several ports and the coal is going to Karnataka. Why destroy Goa? We have a lot of solar energy and can use this power to generate energy. We do not need coal unless we want to destroy our bodies and then die a painful death. I hope the Power Minister is not suicidal? The people of Goa are not.
