The fact that the government itself is considering holding such festival is worrying.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Naik said, \u201cEveryone knows the tactics used by the government and festival organisers to settle scores. Fests of this type are a source of corruption, and the BJP government is now exploring the prospect of earning more money from the fest\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">AAP Goa welcomed Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann\u2019s action against his own minister in a case of bribery.
