The opposition Congress in Goa on Sunday contested the BJP-led state government's claim that all village panchayat areas have become open defecation free.
Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, Digambar Kamat, said the government has "manipulated" facts and figures to create a "false picture" of acquiring ODF status, which he said will affect the "image of Goa", a popular tourist destination.
Panchayat Minister Mauvin Godinho had said all 180-odd panchayats have been officially declared as ODF.
"Goa declared 100 percent ODF: This is expected from the Government which has mastered the art of manipulating facts & figures to create fake feeling of Acche Din".
