PANAJI: Goa Forward Party MLA Vijai Sardesai has launched a sharp criticism of the State government, alleging that it has failed to address the pressing concerns of the people and that the overall situation in Goa is steadily deteriorating.
Speaking ahead of the upcoming Assembly sitting, Sardesai claimed that the government has not effectively resolved the problems faced by citizens. He also alleged that increasing poverty and visible hardship in several parts of the State reflect what he described as shortcomings in governance and inadequate attention to public welfare.
The GFP leader further accused the government of ignoring the financial stress faced by ordinary families. He pointed out that rising electricity tariffs and the increasing prices of essential commodities are placing a heavy burden on households, leaving the common man struggling to manage daily expenses.
Referring to preparations for the Assembly session, Sardesai said that a large number of issues have already been flagged by the public. According to him, a total of 2,193 suggestions and grievances have been submitted for discussion during the session.
He added that legislators have also filed several parliamentary interventions for the sitting. These include 42 starred questions, 210 unstarred questions, 14 Zero Hour submissions, and 14 Calling Attention motions. In addition, four Private Member Bills and three Private Member Resolutions have been placed for consideration.
Sardesai noted that the forthcoming sitting will be a combined Budget and Monsoon Session. He said that with multiple protests and agitations currently taking place across Goa on various issues, the government is likely to face intense scrutiny and tough questions on the floor of the House.
