Opposition MLAs in the Goa assembly on Monday moves an adjournment motion regarding the Speaker's allegations for the Art Minister.


In the Goa legislative assembly today, the opposition MLAs, moving an adjournment motion, attempted to raise the matter of Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar making accusations against Govind Gaude  - the Art & Culture Minister of misusing the allotted funds in his department. The Speaker then denied the motion. 

 

Goa Forward Party MLA Vijai Sardesai moved an adjournment motion to discuss the Speaker's allegations. Tawadkar, the previous week accused Gaude of allegedly embezzling Rs 26.85 lakh by distributing the money to clubs and organisations under a scheme of his department for conducting cultural programmes, which never took place. 

 

When the session began on Monday, Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao demanded that a discussion should be held on the serious allegations made by the Speaker against the minister.

 

It would be an insult to the Speaker if the issue he raised is not discussed on the floor of the House, Alemao said.

 

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said this (House) was not the forum to discuss the issue and urged the opposition to raise the issue at the right forum.

 

Even as the opposition tried to push for their demand, the ruling benches continued with the Question Hour.

 

The budget session of the Goa legislative assembly began on February 2, and the budget will be presented on February 8.
