PANAJI
Leaders were there in full strength but the cadres seemed to be missing in numbers at the INDIA bloc's protest at Azad Maidan in Panaji on Tuesday.
Led by Leader of the Opposition Yuri Alemao, almost every legislator from the constituent parties of the alliance, who have representation in the House, was there.
However, such political protests are usually meant to be a show of strength and on that count the crowds were missing with just about a hundred turning up.
An AAP leader however claimed that mobilising larger numbers would have put them in the cross-hairs of the authorities since the Model Code of Conduct was in force and it would be a violation.
