“This government has to be evaluated on the Goa Vision Document 2012-2017 released by the BJP in the run-up to the 2012 Assembly elections and its acts and deeds over the last four years in power, with a never-ending string of U-turns,” said AAP convenor Rajeshree Nagarsekar at a press briefing on Monday.
She continued, “The BJP’s promises of garbage plants, plastic-free Goa, reducing unemployment, implementation of the cyber-age scheme and several others haven’t been fulfilled in its four years of rule.”
AAP member Surel Tilve said, “The tourism policy has collapsed, there is no sign of a Lokayukta, and the land and tenancy cases have not reached the district administration. In that ‘Vision Document’, the BJP had promised that ‘Annual Performance Reports’ of every government department would be prepared and publicised. This has not happened. It had also promised participatory governance at the village-level, as envisaged in the 73rd and 74th amendments, which has not seen the light of the day.”
Rajeshree added, “We were assured that in three months, garbage strewn along the roads would be cleared. Apart from a mere cosmetic exercise on some roads, the garbage situation State-wide has turned critical, with even the beach cleaning contract being a multi-crore scam. The BJP has not had the spine to even deliver on its promise of banning plastic bags.”
AAP has also stated that would clarify its stand on the major controversial issues affecting Goa, like the MoI and Mopa.
