Govt keen on casino license fee reduction: AAP

Panaji, Apr 24 (UNI) The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Goa on Tuesday challenged the state government to come out openly on the proposal to reduce the licence fees which were hiked recently.
In a statement, AAP State Convenor Elvis Gomes said AAP had already claimed that the recent fee hike while granting further extensions to casinos, which the government was now seeking to reduce, was part of the overall strategy that helped in capitalisation through buying of shares at a reduced price and then strategically leaking the news of the fee hike reduction that caused a 14 per cent rise in a day in the price of shares.
“In the absence of the Chief Minister, people in the Government are a bit scared to put their notings on the file on fee reduction and hence as is always the case, the typical modus operandi to approach the court is being adopted. The casino operators are approaching the court where on expected lines the respondent government will weaken it’s stand so that the casino operators win,” Mr Gomes claimed.
