Saligao: Congress has accused BJP of attempting to lure and split the opposition councillors in its bid to wrest control of the Mapusa Municipal Mouncil.
In the elections held recently, the BJP-supported panel managed to win only nine seats in the 20-member council. An equal number of opposition-backed candidates emerged victorious, along with two independents.
“Around 68% of Mapusa’s citizens voted against BJP, and people came out aggressively on election day to vote them out for not undertaking any development in the town for the last 25 years,” said president of North Goa Congress committee Vijay Bhike.
Bhike said that BJP used its government machinery to manipulate the ward reservations in Mapusa to make place for their councillors, but failed after Congress along with the opposition fought the battle in Supreme Court and won the case.
