The politician’s tweet did not do down well with the twitter users. Twitterians were disgusted over Kamat’s tweet and started bashing him for his insensitivity. While some retaliated in passenger’s defense, some called the politicians names.

Pathetic public facilities, one of the worst airport of India, taxi mafia that doesn't let Uber and Ola function, progressively ruined nightlife thanks to the restrictive rules, and on top of that such attitude of Goans.
Visit Goa? No thanks. Pattaya is more economical.

Gosh, you know what?
Sorry on behalf of these people for compromising your hashtag #BrandGoa.How long before you understand that these are real human beings and to call them 'cheap', 'scum' and 'not quality' is extreme classism??

You tweet make you look like someone from Goa Backward Party!
You devalued your own point by degrading the tourists visiting Goa. Poor or Rich you just can't discriminate.
Plus provide better transport system as Goa lacks it big time.

@PMOIndia @tourismgoi Find the reason before commenting. The language used is of arrogance and uncultured. Is goa not part of india? Constitution grants freedom to travel anywhere. They can afford flights are they scum. Where is atithi devo bhavo? Shame on you. Respect all

Goa airport is one of the most pathetic airports in India.. Facilities are lease than Bus stands of few cities.. You should be talking about improving the facilities at airport.
Calling the tourists cheap shows your upbringing

I thought this represents poor infrastructure and facility at goa airport. Sleeping on floor doesn't signify poor or scum.

Why not make some restrooms for people who have ticket for next day then. It is absolute rubbish that people can't afford hotels. Either they are not flying passengers which incase is another problem or some flights must have experienced delay which explains apathy of Goa airport

What was even more depressing was a promise to Kamat that instances like this won’t repeat from a person in charge of the airport base.
We share your concern. This is one of kind incident and noted with due concern. The instructions to concerned have been issued to be more watchful and ensure no repeat.
