PORVORIM, DEC 3
General Secretary of North Goa Youth Wing of MGP Tushar Tople, General Secretary of Mapusa Youth Wing of MGP Sanjeev Swar and six other members have resigned from their posts.
Tople, Swar and six members – Umesh Dharwadker, Mangaldas Kurtarkar, Ranjan Mayekar, Sripad Yende, Ninad Bagawalker and Prasad Tople submitted their resignation letters to the party president.
Addressing the media at Mapusa, Tople stated that the MGP leaders have not done anything appreciable during the last couple of years.
“The party block president in Mapusa has done practically nothing to expand the party in Mapusa and moreover he did not field any MGP candidates in the recently held municipal elections nor declared party support to those who contested the elections on their own,” claimed Tople.
“This shows that party leaders are not interested in building the party, which has lost its credibility. The party is at the crossroads and if no serious steps are taken, the party will fade into oblivion as the grass root workers are today completely confused and pained with the manner in which the party leadership is handling party affairs,” said Tople.
Tople further said inspite of being the centenary year of Bhahusaheb Bandodkar, MGP leaders did not organise any programme worth to be mentioned in Mapusa so far.
“Therefore, all the loyal workers of MGP are disillusioned. MGP has no longer remained the party of the Bhahujan Samaj, but it has become the party of elite people,” he added.
“We have decided to leave the MGP and form a new Manch within the next four months, in which members of all communities will be included,” said Tople.
Ranjan Mayekar said in MGP, no importance is being given to the poor and downtrodden people.
“After the last assembly election, nothing has been done by MGP leaders for the growth of the party. In the circumstances, there is no point to remain in this party which is not bothered about the welfare of the common people,” claimed Mayekar.
Umesh Dharwadker and Sanjeev Swar also spoke in the press conference.
