A former chief minister of the Indian state of Goa wants to put the fate of the casinos in the hands of popular opinion.

Luizinho Faleiro, president of Goa Pradesh Congress Committee, called for an opinion poll to review the state government’s decision to allow casinos in the small state, the Times of India reported. He claimed “most political parties” in Goa are a party—directly and indirectly—to the casino business, hence the need for a review.

“We want the people of Goa to decide,” the former Goa chief minister said, according to the news outlet. “Just because the state gets INR200 crore (USD2.99 billion), you want to make Goa the vice capital of India, the sin city of India?”
