In a bid to contain the damage caused to the BJP-led State government over a recent statement by the Agriculture Minister, Goa Minister for Environment and Forests Rajendra Arlekar has categorically ruled out the possibility of the peacock, the national bird, and the Indian bison, the Goa state animal, being added to a list of vermin.
