A Congress delegation met Goa Governor Mridula Sinha today to demand the setting aside of decisions taken by the Cabinet Advisory Committee (CAC), a body the party has termed "unconstitutional".

The CAC, formed to guide the state administration in the absence of Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, comprises Vijai Sardesai of the Goa Forward Party, Francis D'Souza of the BJP and Sudin Dhavalikar of the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.

Talking to reporters after meeting the Governor,? Goa Pradesh Congress Committee chief Shantaram Naik said, "There is no provision in the Constitution to form a cabinet advisory committee to replace the powers of the chief minister."
