MARGAO: The Fatorda group of councillors along with MLA Vijai Sardesai criticised the Margao Municipal Council (MMC) for allegedly ignoring all the wards that come under the Fatorda constituency and failing to undertake monsoon-related cleaning, such as cutting of grass or cleaning of waste dumped along the roads and in drains.
The group told reporters that the MMC was denying them labour, excavators
for grass cutting machinery because they are in the
opposition.
In response to this, the Fatorda group of councillors announced that they will take up all such works on their own via a private agency and that the same will be cleared before the Chavath festival.
Sardesai also lamented that officers are reluctant to take up the post of Chief Officer (CO) of the MMC.
On another note, the Goa Forward Party President said he was astonished to hear that the State government has planned to send Goa police to Haryana
“to catch some influencers who have been drawing the attention of the whole nation to the corrupt
and incompetent circus that’s been the governance in Goa.
“Rounding up a few influencers will not change the reality, and the reality is that Goa is being ravaged,” said Sardesai.
He also touched upon divided opinions amongst BJP Ministers and MLAs over Bills that were withdrawn in the monsoon Assembly session.
“Ministers are at each other’s throats openly for mindless legislations, while gigantic scams like the Rs 50,000 crore Zuari land scam are allowed to happen. If you’re sincere to Goa, you could wipe out our State’s entire debt of
Rs 30,000 crores by bringing Zuari to book and silence the critics. But you won’t do it because you’re the patrons who have put up our beautiful State for sale, slice by slice to outsiders, at the expense of Goemkars,” said Sardesai.
