Mummy in the line of fire CLP wants action for tie-up with BJP in CCP polls BY HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MARCH 16 — In an important development, the Congress legislature party (CLP) condemned the action of Deputy Speaker and party MLA from Santa Cruz Victoria Fernandes and ex-minister Somnath Zuwarkar of aligning with BJP in the Panjim Corporation polls and resolved to send the matter to the High Command for necessary action. CLP at a meeting held in the city today also passed a resolution congratulating Town & Country Planning Minister and party MLA from Taleigao for winning the Panjim Corporation elections and in particular getting more seats in Panjim constituency segments denting the base of Opposition Leader and Panjim MLA Manohar Parrikar. Congress MLAs expressed total displeasure over the tie-up Mrs Fernandes and Mr Zuwarkar had with Mr Parrikar. The Santa Cruz MLA was not present for today's meeting. They also took serious note of the utterances of Mrs Fernandes in public meetings in Panjim during the election campaign against the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in-charge of Goa desk Margaret Alva. She had gone to the extent of imitating Mrs Alva in Mangalore Konkani. Ironically, among those who condemned Mrs Fernandes were one or two senior leaders who were instigating her against the CM during the TCP Ordinance issue. -- TUMCHER AXIRVAD ASSUM; DEV BOREM KORUM.
