Goa Forward Party President Vijai Sardesai has criticized the BJP-led Goa government for curtailing the Assembly session to just two days, effectively one working day after the Governor’s address. Sardesai termed this move the “butchering of the democratic voice” and accused the government of undermining democracy as its first official act of the new year.
He alleged that the Pramod Sawant-led government is reeling under scandals, including land grab and “jobs for cash” scams, and accused it of silencing the opposition’s voice in the Assembly. Sardesai further described the reduced session as a “cowardly escape act” that exposes the ruling party’s culpability and the alleged “dirty tricks” that Goans must brace for in the new year.
Condemning the government’s actions, he asserted that the people’s right to question the government is being repeatedly trampled and called for strong opposition to such practices.
