He said all these elections can be held next year in the month of August together.
When asked if all the elections held together would burden the government machinery, he said the government is capable of holding all these elections together. Let Goa set an example before the nation.
He was addressing to the media persons along with all the Zilla Parishad MGP candidates of Ponda and Dharbandora Taluka.
MGP local leader Dr Ketan Bhatikar and Abay Prabu were also present.
Dhavalikar demanded that the government should declare the Zilla Parishad elections date as there is chaos and confusion prevailed among the minds of voters and candidates as some BJP leaders says it would be held on December 12, some says around December 18 while some leaders saying it would held in January.
“If the elections are to happen then there should be Code of Conduct as some ministers were seen holding campaigns for BJP backed candidates at Pernem using government machinery,” he said.
