Panaji, Feb 3 : As Goa s stricken iron ore mining sector completes three years in a deathly slump on February 7, a collective of private sector mines workers and other industry-dependents now appear to be banking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi s intervention to resolve the ongoing deadlock.
Panaji: Goa Forward Party (GFP) president Vijai Sardesai on Sunday said that a united opposition will corner the state government during the assembly session for selling out Goa. Suggesting that Congress and GFP have arrived at some strategy for floor management, Sardesai said that BJP’s role in Goa’s destruction will be exposed on the floor of the House.
GFP also plans to introduce two private member’s bills during the session and asked BJP MLAs to support the bills which are in Goa’s interests. GFP plans to move a bill to provide 80% employment to locals in the private sector and a bill to strengthen the Goa Lokayukta Act.
