The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) today alleged that the show of unity by six Opposition legislators including independents and those from the Congress was a farce.
"With elections round the corner a lot of noise is being made claiming to be the "true Opposition" by the so called opposition MLAs. They have become over enthusiastic to expose the government on corruption. But are they true opposition or a manufactured opposition of hypocrite MLAs ?," NCP Goa spokesman Trajano D'Mello told reporters today.
A group of six legislators including Congress' Vishwajit Rane, Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco, Atanasio Monserratte and independents Vijai Sardessai, Rohan Khaunte, Naresh Sawal had joined forces ahead of recently held State Legislative Assembly session, to take on the government.
D'Mello said the six MLAs got together without a "head or a tail and assured and vowed to expose BJP led government on corruption front."
But the collapse of this unity within a week has proved just an unruly mob had come together, he said.
Reminding the Opposition's attack on government against the scam in beach cleaning contract, D'Mello said the entire expose was just an attempt to play to the gallery.
"After the Opposition's ruckus in the Assembly, the Chief Minister called a press conference and challenged the Opposition, in particular the MLA who spearheaded the charge, to file a written complaint to the police," he said.
"But till this day no complaint seems to have been filed. Why has the MLA who spearheaded the charge shied away from filing a complaint ? With no complaint filed till this day has only exposed the MLA he was just playing to the gallery," the NCP leader alleged.
He also volunteered to file the police complaint against the beach cleanliness scam "if he is given the documentary evidence thatpoints to the charge confirming the scam.
