PRESS STATEMENT
1. On Cancellation of Public
Holidays:
The Goa Su-Raj Party calls
upon the Government to rescind its recent
Notification on Holidays for the coming Calendar Year 2003 as the Notification has the grave potential of being in breach of the principle of FRATERNITY enshrined in the Constitution of our Country. The BJP led Coalition Government instead of working
systematically smarter
has decided to cosmetically work longer, by papering over the real issues of cavalier attitude, corruption, tentativeness, and ad-hocism afflicting it. Examples abound but the admission by the Government
of its inadequacies and
shortcomings to the High Court in the Writ Petition filed against it by a concerned citizen and advocate, against the appointment and untrammelled fees paid out of Public Funds to the Additional Advocate General is one notable and illustrative example. The current Notification on Holidays is another resounding sample. The Goa Su-Raj Party shall oppose, by
democratic means, any attempts by the government
to divide citizens along communal lines. 2. On Party's Organisational
Expansion:
GOA SU-RAJ PARTY has
expanded its Supreme Executive with the induction of
five more members namely Mr. Sajjan Bhatcar, Mr. Mathais Vaz, Mr. John Pereira, Col. Albin Fernandes and Mr. Gerald Fernandes. Mr. Gerald Fernandes has also been
appointed the Spokesperson for the Party and
shall officiate as the Press Liaison Officer. He takes over from Mr. Bernard D'Souza. Out of the forty Constituencies in
Goa, it has been decided to begin with
setting up Constituency Working Committees (CWCs) in Aldona, Siolim and Santa Cruz. Gerald Fernandes, Col. Albin
Fernandes and Mathias Vaz who were the
candidates of Goa Su-Raj Party for the respective Constituencies in the last Assembly Elections have been appointed as Constituency Presidents. They will be responsible for building and consolidating the grass-root set-up in the Constituencies of Aldona, Siolim and Santa Cruz respectively. Appointments to other Constituencies
will follow. for Goa Su-Raj Party
