MARGAO
As the BJP-controlled Margao Municipal Council moved forward with the implementation of the hike in fees for various services from Wednesday, the opposition Congress asserted that civil disobedience was the only solution to the “dictatorship” of the BJP leaders and the ruling council.
The Congress has warned that the impact of the public refusing to pay the hiked fees will soon be felt by the council. The Margao Congress Block charged that the hike being implemented was in total contradiction with the council resolution and demanded that the civic body immediately stop collecting the hiked amounts from taxpayers.
The opposition party has slammed the BJP and the ruling councillors for imposing an "unjustified and irrational financial burden" on the people of Margao.
“Civil disobedience is the only solution to the dictatorship of the BJP leaders and the council. The council will soon see the effect of the civil disobedience movement,” the Congress has warned.
