CANACONA: Terming the move of the five panchas of tabling no-confidence motion against him as a “political ploy”, Loliem-Polem sarpanch Bhushan Prabhugaonkar said it has nothing to do with his stand on IIT or village developments.

The politician is disillusioned that he is losing ground after being denied the party ticket and wants to fight on his own,” Prabhugaonkar said, without naming any politician.
