Govt faces flak for soft stance on ordinance 17 Mar 2009, 0325 hrs IST, TNN
PANAJI: Facing some flak on its perceived soft-stance on the recently promulgated ordinance benefiting a 5-star hotel, the BJP has stated that the government will be answerable to the people of Goa in the coming assembly. Opposition leader Manohar Parrikar at Monday's press conference said that the government would have to provide answers when it brings the ordinance before the assembly to ratify it. "If they do not bring it before the assembly, then it will lapse in six weeks," he said. "The government will be put on the mat on the floor of the house. It has failed to explain the reason why it has brought about this ordinance," he said. Along with Cidade de Goa, others who will benefit from the ordinance will be 42 others including a North Goa 5-star hotel, Goa Shipyard and the Kadamba Transport Corporation for its bus stand at Panaji, the opposition leader added. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Goa/Govt-faces-flak-for-soft-stance-o n-ordinance-/articleshow/4273352.cms ~(^^)~ Avelino
