Goa: Cong seeks 'ATR' on state govt's 2019-20 Budget proposals

Accusing the ruling BJP in Goa of not implementing various proposals mentioned in the Budget 2019-20, the opposition Congress on Wednesday demanded an "Action-Taken Report (ATR)" from Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.

The CM, who also holds Finance portfolio, will table the Budget 2020-21 in the Legislative Assembly on February 6.

The BJP-led government has not fulfilled many promises like resumption of mining, revamping school curriculum and setting up Anganwadis it had made in the last budget, Goa Congress president Girish Chodankar said.

He said Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, who also holds the Finance portfolio, should table an ATR on the last year's financial statement in the Legislative Assembly before tabling the Budget.
