SOCCORRO: Anil Pednekar has been elected as New Sarpanch of Soccoro panchayat and Reshma Morajkar as his Deputy during the election held today.
With this BJP has lost its hold over the panchayat with Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte showing his political strength.
Six members of the Socorro panchayat had recently submitted a letter expressing no-confidence against sarpanch Sandeep Vazarkar, who had recently joined BJP.
The no-confidence motion was signed by panch members Anil Pednekar, Sanjay Pednekar, Sandeep Manjrekar, Ravlu Parsekar, Reshma Morajkar and Maya Keni.
The letter was handover to Block Development Officer Bardez while accusing the Sarpanch of not taking other members into confidence in the village developmental activities. Sarpanch failed to take action against illegal construction and land grabbing which are happening within the jurisdiction of Soccoro village jurisdiction.
