MGP leader and Marcaim MLA Sudin Dhavalikar on Tuesday claimed that a number of “unhappy BJP leaders” have met him, adding that political realignments would be visible after Ganesh Chaturthi.
“Even the BJP core committee members are unhappy with the ruling panel as they feel sidelined with the arrival of leaders from other parties. In 2017, the BJP was reduced to 13 MLAs and right now, the situation is such that the party may be reduced to a single digit.”
Dhavalikar also said the State government should finish incomplete projects like hospitals rather than laying foundation stones for new projects just before the elections.
"The health infrastructure work is incomplete in Pernem, Kasarvarnem, Canacona and Quepem, while the GMC second phase work and Margao district hospital are incomplete. The government should not lay new foundation stones merely for the sake of it.”
Dhavalikar said that work on the Pernem and Marcela bus stands are incomplete, adding that Merces court building and all sports complexes are incomplete.
“The government has to pay around Rs 350 crore to contractors and it is taking a loan to just run the government. Given this situation, one wonders if the government has Rs 150 crore to fund the scheme to provide relief to traditional workers,” he added.
