Panaji: Goa Vikas Party (GVP) on Tuesday said the verbal duel between BJP and RSS over the medium of instruction (MOI) in primary schools is an attempt to fool the minority community in the state.

"The BJP and RSS are united and two sides of the same coin. The current verbal duel between both of them over the MOI issue is just an attempt to fool minority community ahead the 2017 state Assembly polls," GVP head Fransisco Miccky Pacheco said here. He said BJP's stand is always anti-minority when it comes to MOI and it has reflected in their policy.
