New Delhi, March 31: After P Chidambaram said that the people of Goa won't be able to sleep in peace due to the choice of Ministers in the state Cabinet, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant slammed the Congress leader with a valid response.
Vishwajit Rane, Mauvin Godinho and Nilesh Cabral, who were a part of erstwhile Goa Cabinet, retained their place. Independent legislators Rohan Khaunte & Govind Gaude, who joined BJP before polls and won the election, were also inducted into the Cabinet.
Chidambaram, who was Congress' senior observer for Goa polls, said that Sawant, Vishwajit Rane, Mauvin Godinho Ravi Naik and Atanasio Monserrate could not bring about change and development in the state.
As a response, taking to Twitter, Goa CM Sawant took a dig at Chidambaram, by reminding him of his time spent in jail in connection with the INX Media case. Sawant took charge as the CM for the second successive time at the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium in Bambolim, Goa, on Monday.
