On directions of the Collectors of both the Districts in Goa, the Director of Urban Development by a circular issued on 4th October directed all Municipal Councils to immediately remove all banners, hoardings and posters displayed by political parties along the road side and public places.
Accordingly the Mapusa Municipal Council acted swiftly and removed all banners and posters except that of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Today on being questioned by the Director of Urban Development as to why all the posters in Mapusa have not been removed, the Chief Officer of Mapusa Municipal Council Clen Madeira had the audacity to state that he had orders from his political masters not to remove the BJP posters and banners. This is a clear abuse of power and must be strongly deprecated. Shame on the BJP which had promised Good Governance but has reneged on that promise in every manner possible.
