PANAJI

: A day after TOI reported that Rajendra Talak had resigned from his post as vice chairman of the

Entertainment Society of Goa

(ESG), he issued a statement on his departure from the position. "I shall always remember the 3 wonderful & constructive years which I believe we have served to the best of our capacity at ESG," he stated.


In his statement, Talak thanked the previous chief ministers (CM) of Goa and the current CM under whom he had served. "I thank ex CM, Laxmikant Parsekar,

late Manohar Parrikar

and honourable CM Pramod Sawant for believing in me and my team." he said.
