PANJIM: The Goa Pradesh Congress Committee criticised the State for not providing security personnel till date to Yuri Alemao, who was recognised as Leader of Opposition by Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly, recently. The Congress has alleged that the former opposition Leader Michael Lobo still enjoys that privilege.
GPCC President Amit Patkar said, “I want the Director General of Police to explain why the security personnel is not provided to Yuri almost after 22 days have passed since he was recognised as Leader of Opposition by the Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly?”
“He should also come clean on when the security personnel were withdrawn from former leader of opposition Michael Lobo,” demanded Patkar.
“If this can happen to the Leader of Opposition, one can imagine the state of affairs with the common man,” he added.
“I also understand that former Quepem MLA Chandrakant alias Babu Kavlekar who was holding the unconstitutional post of deputy chief minister is still having the security personnel. This is blatant misuse of power by the BJP Government,” stated Patkar.
