Panaji
GKMSS kept its word and began a ferocious campaign against Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on the backdrop of the fast-approaching Panaji by-poll. Santosh Mandrekar demanded that the amendments should be withdrawn immediately and that the state government should implement the old Tenancy Bill, 1964 brought by the then Chief Minister of Goa Bahusaheb Bandodker.
He also said that the government should appoint Mamlatdars and special powers shall be given to them to resolve the cases within three years.
It may be recalled that Goa Agricultural Tenancy (Amendment) Bill, 2017 was unanimously passed in the State Assembly on August 2, paving way for the transfer of tenancy cases back to Mamlatdars from the Court of Senior Civil Judge.
