If Nehru wanted, Goa could have been liberated 'within hours': PM
The Hindu
“I had spoken in Parliament and told the truth to the country how the Congress destroyed the liberation movement of Goa.”
Launching an attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said if Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru wanted, Goa could have been liberated "within hours" in 1947 when India attained independence, but it took 15 years for the state to be freed from Portuguese rule.
Addressing an election rally in Mapusa near here ahead of the February 14 assembly polls, Mr. Modi said the Congress has been treating Goa as its "enemy" and same treatment continues even now which can be seen through the constant political instability imposed upon the state by the party.
“The Congress has never understood the political culture, aspirations of youths of Goa. They always have had a feeling of enmity towards Goa,” the Prime Minister said as he campaigned for the BJP, which is seeking a second straight term in office.
