Speaking to the media on the sidelines of a foundation stone laying function at Davorlim village on Wednesday, Mandrekar said the decision was taken taking into account the instability at the Panchayat raj institutions.
Mandrekar, however, said that though elections will be held on party lines, he cannot say for the moment which party or group will emerge as the ruling groups at the ZP bodies. “It is a good decision of the government to hold ZP elections on Party lines. This will do away with the instability at the grass root bodies”, he said.
