Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat on Wednesday lodged his dissent in writing on the government’s plans to pass the full budget in just one-day assembly session.
“Ihave registered my dissent in writing before the Business Advisory Committee against the Government decision to pass the Budget during the One day Session of the Goa Legislative Assembly scheduled on Monday 27th July,” Kamat said here.
He said that it is very important that the one day session must give utmost priority to the issues like Covid Pandemic, Financial condition of the State, Revival of Economy, Environmental issues like proposed projects causing damaged to Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary and Mollem National Park, Double tracking of Railway line passing through Villages in Coastal areas etc. stated Digambar Kamat.
“It is unfortunate that the government is trying to bulldoze the democratic right of the Elected Representatives of the people to voice issues concerning the common man and wants to pass the Budget without proper discussion on the same. The government is not ready to discuss and listen to the views of the opposition on handling Covid pandemic, Economic Revival of the State and Environmental issues which will cause destruction to flora and fauna,” he said.
The other issues and business such as passing of Bills etc. must be undertaken in the next Session with a longer duration to enable all the Members to discuss and give their views on such bills in the interest of the State Digambar Kamat has stated in the letter submitted to the Speaker of Goa Legislative Assembly, he added.
The Leader of Opposition has conveyed to the Speaker five subject matters to be taken up during the One day Session recommended by the Congress Legislature Party.
- Question Hour.
- Discussion on Covid Pandemic in Goa.
- Discussion on Economic Crises and Financial Status of Goa.
- Discussion on Environmental issues of the State.
