PANAJI: Coming out openly against the Manohar Parrikar-led BJP government since the last assembly elections held in March this year, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) president Subhash Shirodkar accused the government of not curbing illegal mining activities and said that illegal mining has continued in the state of Goa.
Speaking to mediapersons after the GPCC meeting held in the city on Friday evening, Shirodkar said the mining issue which was played up during the election as illegal mining still continued as it was. "Illegal mining is continuing in the state," Shirodkar alleged.
The extended GPCC meeting was attended by the Congress MLAs, officer bearers and Congress candidates who lost the recent elections, but leader of opposition Pratapsingh Rane was not present at the meeting.
Shirodkar also said that the Congress party was monitoring each and every decision of the government.
He also said that during the last four months, the Congress was only hearing dates from the government on the various assurances given to the people. "Where is zero tolerance to corruption," said Shirodkar.
The Congress party will raise all the issues in the upcoming assembly session as well as outside the assembly, Shirodkar said.
The Congress party meeting has also discussed the mining issue and medium of instruction (MOI) issue and unanimously felt that the government was practicing unfair policies. "Congress workers have unanimously decided to condemn the government decisions on mining, MOI and law and order," Shirodkar said. Shirodkar also questioned whether the government had taken any decision on the MOI issue.
Shirodkar said that the Congress party is ready to hit the street or to hold 'Jail bharo andolan' on the issue of delimitation during the panchayat election; the issue of the government changing the chairperson of South Goa zilla panchayat; Goa Cricket Association election and no confidence motion against the chairman of the Goa state cooperative society.
"Congress party is ready to do an agitation on this issue," said Shirodkar.
Congress party has also discussed and deliberated on the debacle in the recently held assembly election.
"We have decided to reactivate all departments and cells of Goa Pradesh Congress Committee," said Shirodkar.
