PANJIM: RTI activist Rajan Ghate, who entered the fifth day of his hunger strike, on Tuesday urged Goa Governor Dr Mridula Sinha to appoint a full time Chief Minister for the State in the absence of ailing Manohar Parrikar.
Ghate in his memorandum also demanded the present Parrikar led coalition government be dismissed for the administration crisis.
“It is now the fifth day that I am on a hunger strike, still there has been no doctor from the government to treat me and to look at my condition, this is due to the failure of the state government” Ghate said.
“It is a sad reflection that a state of Goa is not having a Chief Minister for the past eight months” said Judith Almeida the Convener of Concerned Citizens for Good Governance.
She stressed on the fact that the government is waiting for a CM who is not able to run the affairs of the state and is holding important portfolios. He is not available to the people of the state. “There is no aspect where one can say that administration is still being done, the government of Goa has completely failed in their functioning” stated Almeida.
The activists have expressed their wish to approach President of India for the intervention.
