RSS leader Subhash Velingkar said Thursday that his party, the Goa Suraksha Manch (GSM), is committed to ensuring that amendments to the Goa Gambling Act, which allows offshore casino vessels in the state, are deleted, if their candidate is elected in the Panaji by-poll.
GSM has fielded its president Anand Shirodkar against BJP’s Manohar Parrikar and Congress’ Girish Chodankar in August 23 Panaji by-poll.
“I will coordinate with the concerned public representatives and NGOs to remove casinos from Mandovi river and from Panaji and its neighborhood. I will try to ensure that the amendments made by the Government to the Goa Gambling Act are deleted,” reads the manifesto which was released by GSM on Thursday.
The state currently has five offshore casino vessels which are anchored in river Mandovi near Panaji.
