AAP spokesperson Adv Surel Tilve while speaking to media persons said as Goa has the land to the tiller act in force the land ought to be transferred in the name of the tiller which he said has not happened as yet and instead the government has become the owners of the land.
He also demanded that the government draft a proper notice giving all the details about the new land where the IIT is proposed to be set up and while pointing out that the Chief Minister had promised to set up a committee to decide about the IIT lamented that the committee has not yet been constituted.
