The decision of the Goa Government to suspend all personal and final land conversion proposals under Section 39A of the TCP Act in St Andre constituency is a great victory for MLA Viresh Borkar and villagers who supported him throughout his protest and fast at the Azad Maidan.
There can be no doubt whatsoever that the Government wilted, fearing the dire consequences of Borkar’s deteriorating health during his fast unto death threat.
We will now have to wait for the Government next move, because as of now it appears that the Government is in no mood to call a special Assembly session to scrap Section 39A once and for all.
