The pledge was to fight “businessmen and politicians” trying to destroy Goa’s heritage.

We have nothing to do with it, if tomorrow someone finds this is illegal, let them demolish it. This is somebody’s personal issue, a local issue and not a state issue. Goa BJP president Sadanand Tanavde distanced the party from the matter. She was not available for comment on Sunday. Shaina had earlier said she had no part in the development of the property. It is learnt that repeated protests by local residents which the Goa Congress joined in July, ‘politicisation of the issue’ and Shaina’s name being associated with the matter was among the reasons for Munot to back out.
