The Cuncolim Municipal Council meeting on Thursday witnessed another round of verbal duel between the Chairperson Laximan Naik and the Opposition group of councillors led by Udesh Desai.
The meeting chaired by Laximan saw the Chairperson and Goa Forward-backed councillor Udesh engaged in a war of words.
In fact, the Chairperson was heard telling the councillor to leave the meeting hall and Udesh in return demanding that Naik give the order in writing. Both Laximan and Udesh were heard calling each other unfit, as the duo was engaged in a bitter verbal duel yet again.
The opposition group also charged the ruling body for what they called as the absence of development in their respective wards. They pointed out that resolutions adopted by the Council have not been given effect to by the administration.
Opposition councillor Polita Carnerio, Udesh Desai and others pointed out that they have not even received slabs despite having requisitioned the same to the civic body. They said the Chairperson, when questioned, only replied saying that the civic body has to initiate a process before undertaking any work.
