Expressing his reservation against attempts to bifurcate the North Goa Planning Development Authority (NGPDA), Congress MLA, Aleixo Reginald Lourenco said adding more areas in the PDA was a much bigger scam.
"Dividing PDAs is one part. But adding areas into PDA is a bigger scam. They are trying to add more areas...Michael Lobo is trying to add Parra, Arpora and Nagao in the PDA. Calangute and Candolim are already brought under PDA," he told The Goan.
Clearly showing his distaste at attempts to split the NGPDA, the Curtorim MLA said he has conveyed a message to the Town and Country Planning Minister. "Vijai (Sardessai) is my friend. I have explained to him my position. I have told him what is good and what is bad. It is now for him to take a decision," Lourenco said.
He further said government was not bothered in forming the RP but was more interested in dividing the PDA.
