Senior national leader of the Indian National Congress ,Alka Lamba on Thursday hit out at AAP stating that Goa was not an experimental lab for outsiders while urging Goans not to Invite outsiders and let the true Goan local leaders govern Goa.

Lamba said that while Goans were being fooled by offering freebies, the fact remained that Delhi governance was a failed model and that Delhi had been suffering since the last few years including several deaths caused by shortage of oxygen.

Lamba further expressed shock over Kejriwals statements over the demolition of a church in Delhi
” How can he being the Chief Minister of Delhi not be aware ,when three of AAP MLAs are a part of the committee that took the Decision of the demolition. Kejriwal should have taken steps to save the church from being demolished. Delhi has even witnessed riots that left many people dead and Kejriwal could do not do anything about it ” said Lamba

Lamba reiterated the stand that AAP was a B team of the BJP and alleged that Kejriwal had ignored all priorities of Delhi and had been touring different states on BJP Funds

Lamba said that she had given up on AAP after she had realized that AAP was a B team of BJP . Lamba said that AAP was only trying to create a vibe by spending huge money on advertisements , buy the fact was that AAP was only wanting to divide the votes of the Congress to falicitate the victory of BJP . Lamba lashing out at Kejriwal said that no Chief Minister of any state in India was engaged in tours of other states while leaving the state half way in the peak of pandemic.(GoaNewsHub)

Aam Aadmi Party Vice President Ad. Surel Tilve on Tuesday stated that the recent “rumoured” defection drama is another proof that the Congress is the BJP’s B-team. Taking a shot at former Goa Congress Chief Girish Chodankar’s claim that Congress party MLAs were offered Rs 40 crore to join the BJP, Tilve questioned why Congress had not taken any action against the BJP?

AAP Vice President Valmiki Naik said that the defection is currently delayed because national leaders and local leaders are negotiating for the biggest piece of the pie.

Naik said, “Despite the fact that assembly sessions have already begun; the Congress has failed to choose an opposition leader. This is the most shameful episode in the history of Goa’s politics”.

Naik further said, “The assembly session was a timely opportunity to discuss problems of the common people and to criticize the BJP government for their failure as a united opposition. Sadly, the biggest opposition party is busy with its selfish agenda, ignoring the issues of the people”.

AAP Vice President Sandesh Telekar said Margao MLA and Congress Senior Leader Digambar Kamat should come forward and clear the air about whether or not he was involved in a conspiracy game alleged by his own party. (GoaNewsHub)

Panaji: Goa Legislative Assembly Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar on Tuesday said that he has admitted the Disqualification Petition filed by Congress party against its own two MLAs. Tawadkar told reporters that he has received two Disqualification Petitions filed by Congress party against Leader of Opposition Michael Lobo and Congress MLA Digambar Kamat.

He said that Lobo continues to be Leader of Opposition as of now, as the Congress Legislature Party is yet to inform about the new name.

Tawadkar said Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President Amit Patkar had filed the Disqualification Petitions against two MLAs on Monday. “I was not available yesterday, so I met the petitioners (of disqualification petition) today,” he said.

The Speaker said that the petition would be taken for consideration after the current Session of Legislative Assembly gets over.

The Congress party on Sunday had announced the action against two of its MLAs – Lobo and Kamat – following the news of rebellion in the Congress Legislature Party. Party’s Goa Desk incharge Dinesh Gundu Rao had accused both the leaders of being involved in antiparty activities.

Patkar had told reporters on Monday that both the MLAs should be disqualified as they have voluntarily given up primary membership of the party by indulging in antiparty activities. (GoaNewsHub)
