Dhankhar was speaking after releasing the 200th book of Governor of Goa, P.S. Sreedharan Pillai, titled ‘Vaman Vriksha Kala’ at a function held here.

“We can’t take a stand that I will use water, petroleum, energy, gas because I can afford them. Fiscal power has nothing to do with utilisation of natural resources, there has to be a balance.
