Curchorem: One Gabriel Fernandes, an aspiring candidate for municipal polls from Curchorem-Cacora Municipal Council has filed a petition in the Bench of Bombay High Court at Goa on the reservation of his ward.
Gabriel a resident of Morailem-Bepkegal ward No 12 now Ward No.3, claims that in 2015 his ward was reserved as O.B.C women which is now reserved as O.B.C General.
He claims that last time he wanted to contest the last Municipal election but was denied opportunity and when he approached the DMA 5 years back he was told that reservation is on rotation basis.
Even in the second week of January 2021 he approached the DMA office and was told that since reservation is on rotation basis he need not worry about the same this time.
Shockingly, he added, it was reserved again as O.B.C general, therefore Gabriel Fernandes has filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court on this matter which is scheduled to come up for hearing 23rd February.
