PANAJI: Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar on Monday hinted that it would not be possible to convene an assembly session before the counting of votes on March 11.
However, he has already sought Advocate General’s written advise on the same, which is expected within the next two-three days.
“I would be also happy to call a session of the assembly. Already the elections are over. It is ethically not correct on the part of the outgoing government to call an assembly session. Secondly, if I call a session, it would be the first session of the assembly and the same will have to be addressed by the governor. The Governor, in her speech, speaks about the policies of the government. Which government’s policies should she speak about?” he pointed out.
He further said, “As per the verbal advice given by the AG, the delay is not because of the government, but it is due to the schedule fixed by the Election Commission. I have already moved a file for his written opinion from AG. Within the next two-three days we should receive it.”
