PORVORIM: Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant that state government will introduce Bill to amend Goa Panchayat Raj Act and Goa Municipality Act in the House today to give powers for ward reservation and delimitation to State Election Commission.
“Government will introduce Bill to amend Goa Panchayat Raj Act and Goa Municipality Act in the House today to give powers for ward reservation and delimitation to State Election Commission,” CM said in house
The Opposition has slammed the government for the haphazard process which was undertaken without following proper criteria. Sitting councillors, across municipal councils, too have expressed their complete displeasure over the reservations and delimitation.
The Opposition Congress and the Goa Forward Party were among nine petitioners in the case and had alleged that the reservation of wards was politically motivated and done without any logic.
The court ordered the Goa government to reconduct the exercise of reservation of wards in the five Municipal Councils of Margao, Mormugao, Mapusa, Sanguem and Quepem.
