This was announced by BJP Goa State President Laxmikant Parsekar at a press conference held here yesterday. He said a training session for the party’s village, district and state level activists and new members will also be held to familiarize them with the Party’s ideology, agenda and programme. Reviewing the party’s performance in the recently held assembly elections, Parsekar said it was a mandate in favour of the BJP though the party did not get an absolute majority in the 40-member House. Elaborating further, Parsekar said that the Goan electorate had voted for stability and good governance which were the key slogans of the BJP. The constructive votes of the people resulted into increase of BJP MLAS from 10 in the 1999 election to 17 presently he said. Percentage wise there is an increase by 13 per cent votes in favour of BJP this time, he stated. In terms of number of MLAs, the increase is 70 percent, Parsekar informed. Parsekar admitted that his party fell short in achieving the magic figure of ‘21’, MLAs, while saying that the party ‘perhaps went wrong somewhere’. Replying to a query, Parsekar said he would neither accept a chairmanship of any corporation or a ministerial berth for a period of one year, till the time he continues as the state president he not accepting any posts, the development work of Mandrem would be completed. “It is a wrong conception that a constituency develops only when a MLA gets a car with the red beacon light”, he said. Parsekar took pride in stating that 16 of the 17 BJP MLAs who were elected are cadre of the party. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOMANTAK TIMES 11/6/2002 Page 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================= GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Working On Issues Of Development & Democracy ======================================= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=- To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet ================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
