Goa Forward Supremo,Vijai Sardessai has been a staunch advocate for Konkani language. He stressed on the need for making Konkani a priority in getting a Government job. He said, “The States were formed on the basis of language. Goa achieved statehood because of Konkani. If you get a job in Goa, knowledge of Konkani should be done instead of mentioning local language. There should be no ambiguity. It was the mistake of the Fisheries Dept and I pointed out the same.”
