MARGAO
The Congress party has condemned the action of moving motion of no-confidence against the newly elected Sarpanch of Davorlim-Dicarpale Village Panchayat Menino Colaco within hours of his election.
Congress leader Savio Coutinho stated that it was the most condemnable act of the BJP forces. "This is nothing but a repeat of what was done during the Margao Municipal Council Chairperson election two years ago, Coutinho said.
He said the BJP is desperate for power at every level of administration so that they can indulge in all sorts of wrong doings.
"Initially they played around with the conduct of Sarpanch elections, and now when they faced a defeat, the BJP machinery has gone active to destabilize the Panchayat body, Coutinho said
He added: "The BJP government which blows its trumpet over effective grass root governance is actually indulging in murder of a democratic set up provided by the constitution".
He said the general public is definitely watching all the chicanery played by the BJP government and the local MLA Ulhas Tuenkar.
He added: "The time is not far when they will be taught a lesson in the forthcoming Zilla Panchayat and Assembly elections".
