“What was the tearing hurry to pass an Municipalities Ordinance when the matter could have been discussed at the Assembly Session?” he asked.
“From January 25, the Assembly Session would commence. Where the Municipalities Ordinance could have been debated and discussed upon. Why no stakeholders were taken into confidence? Was this done to profit some friends of the BJP?” asked Mhambre.
He opined that the Chief Minister wanted to sneak in the Municipality Ordinance which is totally contrary to the Uniform Civil Code in practice in Goa and said this is in keeping with the BJP’s plan of destroying anything that is progressive and promoted by the people of Goa.
“The members of the merchant association approached the AAP for support. I would like to assure them that the AAP will make sure that no injustice is done to them,” said Mhambre.
