Oppn plans to take on Goa BJP govt in Monsoon session

Three Independent legislators in Goa, who claim to have support of a group of Congress MLAs, have decided to take on the BJP-led government in the upcoming State Legislative Assembly session.
"The Opposition benches will have floor coordination to ensure that BJP-led government is completely exposed over their failures and constant U-turns since 2012, when they formed the government," Independent MLA Vijai Sardesai told reporters today.
Two other Independent MLAs - Naresh Sawal and Rohan Khaunte- were present at the press meet.
The Monsoon session of Goa Legislative Assembly will begin from July 25.
Sardesai said during the last four and half years, three fourth of the total bench strength was that of the ruling party and "we were just one fourth".

"But despite this we proved to be a formidable Opposition on the floor. This will be the last opportunity for us to expose the current government as it is presumed that there would not be any more sessions before election," the legislator said.

Elections in Goa are slated for next year.
He said that BJP had announced unemployment doles to the youth if they are voted to power.
"During the entire tenure they failed to give any doles but instead the state government went a step ahead and said they can't promise 80 per cent employment to locals in private sector and 100 per cent in public undertakings," Sardesai said.

The Fatorda legislator said he would be placing the private member resolution seeking 80 per cent reservation in jobs in private sector during the upcoming assembly session.
This bill, which he had placed during last session could not sail through with ruling benches blocking it on the floor of the House.
Sardesai claimed that the three of them have received tactical support from Congress legislators like Digambar Kamat, Aleixo Lourenco Reginaldo and Atanasio Monserratte who will be part of floor coordination during the session.
The legislators have also decided to oppose the newly formed Advisory Committee to decide on the issue of Medium of Instruction (MOI).

"The government is not interested in addressing MOI issue but instead wants to gain advantage out of it by polarising votes," Sardesai said.
