Perpetrators desperate to revive RP2011: Lok Shakti
BY HERALD REPORTER
MARGAO, JULY 27 - Lok Shakti has apprehended that attempts to
destabilise the elected government are a conspiracy of the perpetrators
of the infamous scrapped Regional Plan 2011 in a desperate bid to revive it.
“The nexus between communal, corrupt and the opportunist politicians, as
feared by Lok Shakti during election campaign, has materialised and
BJP’s mask of so-called high ethical standards in politics is fully
exposed”, stated Lok Shakti President Dr Francisco Colaco.
He said it is obvious this lobby has been extremely agitated of the
Assembly that all constructions violating the prevailing rules and
carried out under the defunct RP 2011 would be frozen. “The fact that
the architect of the RP 201 is the main player in the attempts to
destabilise the government is enough proof of the role of that
diabolical plan in this attempted coup”, he said.
Further, he said the role of the BJP in these nefarious machinations is
more than evident, considering that they are now overtly and more than
ever colluding with the “architect” of the scrapped RP 2011.
“The open admission by Calangute MLA, Agnelo Fernandes, that Rs 20 crore
were offered to him to ditch the government, lends further credence that
desperate attempts are underway to restore the monstrous RP 2011.
Dr Colaco called upon the people of Goa to resist any attempts to
destabilise the government, which appears sincere in its resolve to bury
the RP 2011 and to formulate, in consultation with the Goa Bachao
Abhiyan and all stakeholders, a new plan that will safeguard the
interests of Goa.
Lok Shakti has vowed that it will not remain silent at this renewed
conspiracy to destroy Goa.
“It was the people of Goa who compelled the last government to withdraw
the RP 2011. It is now up to the same people to be vigilant and prevent
their MLAs, whichever party they may belong to, from joining the
conspirators for the sake of power and lucre.
