MARGAO: Taking strong exception to Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai’s tirade against the Margao city Fathers on the Sonsodo garbage issue, Margao Municipal Chairperson Dayanand Deulkar on Tuesday hit back at Sardesai, terming his allegations against the Civic body and the councillors as baseless.
Sending a tough message to the Fatorda MLA that the city fathers will not take things lying down, Deulkar said the councillors cannot be blamed for the Sonsodo mess when they have not been a part of the High Powered Coordination Committee or the Sub-Committee under the HPCC. “It is wrong on the part of the Fatorda MLA to target the councillors for the Sonsodo mess. This attitude will not help to improve the situation,” he said.
Deulkar demanding to know why the Fatorda MLA or his Margao counterpart Digambar Kamat do not attend any of the Council meetings when invitations are sent to the MLAs. “If they are so concerned about the city, they should make time to attend the Council meetings and help in the development of the city,” he added.
He refuted Sardesai’s remarks that the City Fathers do not work for the city’s development, saying that many works, including pre-monsoon and other works, will be implemented within the next few days.
