PANJIM: Blaming Dhavalikar brothers for the downfall of Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) in the State, the St Andre block led by president Jagdish Bhobe resigned en-masse from the primary membership.
The block heavily criticised Dhavalikar brothers for turning the party into private company.
The resignation letter which is sent to MGP President Deepak Dhavalikar was signed by Bhobe and other office bearers.
Making the letter public at a press conference in Panjim, here on Sunday, Bhobe said he and his colleagues do not see any future of the party in St Andre.
“We have come to a conclusion that we and the people of St Andre don’t see any future of our St Andre constituency in the hands of MGP. We hereby tender our resignation from the block committee of St Andre constituency and also from the membership of the party,” the resignation letter reads.
The committee members said it is almost two years and four months since 2017 General Assembly election were held, there was not a single meeting held by the MGP leadership with the local workers and voters of St Andre constituency since then.
“It has been observed by us that MGP has been turned into a private limited company run by Dhavalikar brothers. We often see statements in media that MGP is a party of Bahujans, if that was the case then Bahujan Samaj leaders like Naresh Sawal should have been given a chance to be the MGP president,” the block committee members said.
“In the last Central Committee meeting, we have seen through social media and mainstream media the treatment given to Lavoo Mamledar by the goons hired by the MGP leadership.”
