PANAJI: Congress leader Sunil Kawthankar has accused the Goa government of illegally curtailing the ongoing Assembly session, claiming it has deprived the people of the state of meaningful discussions on crucial issues, including Section 39A.
Kawthankar alleged that the government cited the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) as the reason for cutting the session short, but questioned the justification by pointing out that legislative sessions are continuing in Maharashtra despite by-elections being underway.
He further claimed that the manner in which the state Budget was passed raises serious concerns, terming it an “illegal procedure” and an attempt to bypass proper legislative scrutiny.
In a separate allegation, Kawthankar stated that the Goa government has spent a staggering ₹677 crore on events since 2022. He said the Congress party will soon expose the details of these events and the expenditure incurred, questioning the government’s priorities.
The remarks are likely to intensify the political confrontation between the ruling government and the opposition in the state.
