The Forward Party’s Vijai Sardesai says he will make a one-hour power nap mandatory if he becomes chief minister
When Goan politician Vijai Sardesai pronounces the word susegad – soo-saay-gaad – it rolls languorously off the tongue. Susegad is the word for Goa’s relaxed, laidback culture, and Sardesai has pledged to protect one integral feature of it: the siesta.
Government elections are not due till early next year but Sardesai, leader of the Goa Forward party, has decided to put his best foot forward (not too energetically) by declaring that if he wins and becomes chief minister, he will make a one-hour siesta any time between 1pm and 4pm mandatory.
