DIGAMBAR CRIES WOLF OVER JUMPING COUNCILORS

A person who gets elected on particular party should not vote for opposition party, Margao MLA Digambar Kamat said. Digamber was defending the amendment ordinance pushed through after he lost the Margao municipality. Ironically Digamber was instumental in 8 MLAs shifting to BJP from Congress.

Digambar Kamat is facing a heat from the opposition after the government issued an ordinance replacing secret ballot voting to voting in person following Digambar’s panel defeat in Margao.  

On Sunday, 7 Congress and 1 Goa Forward backed councilors joined the BJP and Digambar tried to break the silence on the controversy saying the Goa Municipal Act has no provision to take voting via secret ballot. When he was questioned why the move intended despite claiming number Digambar lost his cool at the media.
