The Aam Aadmi Party has slammed the BJP for moving the no-confidence motion against newly elected Sarpanch of Davorlim-Dicarpale Menino Colaco.
Terming the no confidence motion tabled against the Davorlim Sarpanch barely hours after his election, AAP national youth Vice-president Siddesh Bhagat has accused the BJP for shedding crocodile tears for the Scheduled Tribe and minorities. "The BJP claims the party is working for the welfare of the STs and SCs by passing Bills. But, here is a case wherein the BJP wants to remove a Sarpanch hailing from the ST community within hours" he said.
Bhagat said the BJP is rattled that a ST Sarpanch is elected in Davorlim Panchayat. "In the morning, Menino Colaco was elected as sarpanch by defeating the BJP backed candidate. Just four hours after his election, a no confidence motion has been tabled against him doubting his leadership and functioning, he said.
He added: "First, this BJP Government removed an ST community Minister from Cabinet, Now they are behind a Sarpanch from ST community. BJP MLA and Govt has again and again proven they are against the ST community".
