India to conduct a public survey on Goa’s casinos

The Aam Aadmi Party will conduct a public survey on the issue.

India.- After accusing the Confress party of bringing casinos to Goa, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said that they will create and promote a public survey on Goa’s casino issue, and the results will be declared later this month.

Rupesh Shinkre, party spokesperson, questioned the government’s tourism policy and the delay in notifying the Regional Plan 2021, and said: “Congress was responsible for bringing casinos to Goa with BJP in opposition protesting against them but now they are trying to add another one.”

A recently released economic survey indicated negative growth in all the economic sectors of Goa: despite big investments in Goa have grown at a CAGR rate of 9 percent during 2011-2012, and 2015-2016, services like construction and real estate sectors are the only ones who recorded positive growth rate of 12 percent and 11 percent respectively.

“Goa’s most important sectors like manufacturing and electricity also recorded negative growth of about 8 percent and 32 percent respectively,” said Shinkre.
