PANJIM: Continuing its attack on the State government over the strictures passed against it by the SC regarding the municipal elections, Goa Forward Party working president Kiran Kandolkar claimed that government workers from Bahujan Samaj community are being targeted.
Warning of protest if such workers are transferred, Kandolkar said the ‘vindictive’ government wants to make a scapegoat out of these officers and blame them for the setback it suffered at the hands of the SC.

He gave the example of DMA Gurudas Pilarnekar as one such officer who may be transferred.
He further alleged that the government was unhappy with the recent re-reservation in municipal wards, a decision he said GFP welcomes.
He also claimed that earlier the same govt used Pilarnekar to do their work and now, the DMA was abiding by the instructions of the SC directly and not according to the views of the BJP government.
