Now Goa Congress throws 'five question' challenge to BJP
Panaji, Jan 31: Taking a cue from the "five questions" strategy adopted by the BJP to corner the AAP ahead of the Feb 7 Delhi polls, the Congress here Saturday adopted this to question Goa's BJP-led coalition government.
Congress
spokesperson
Yatish
Naik
announced
his
party's
list
of
five
questions
for
the
state
government,
which
ranged
from
the
government's
inability
to
avail
of
central
funds
for
mega
infrastructure
projects,
failure
to
deliver
on
several
promises
made
in
the
BJP's
2012
assembly
poll
manifesto.
"The government promised much but has delivered nothing. They have failed on most promises," Naik said at a press conference.
When asked if the Congress would be posing five questions to the BJP government in Goa everyday, just like the BJP was trying to ramp up pressure on the Aam Aadmi Party, Naik said: "Wait and watch."
Political climate in Goa is heating up in view of the Feb 13 bye-poll for the Panaji assembly seat, which was vacated after the elevation of sitting MLA and former chief minister Manohar Parrikar to as defence minister.
Sidharth Kuncolienkar of the BJP is taking on Panaji mayor Surendra Furtado, while two other Independent candidates are also in the fray.
