IS IN DEBT TRAP

The state’s debt has risen rose by 74.88% since 2012, when the state’s public debt stood at 6872.36 crore.
The state’s fiscal deficit has also shown an increasing trend under the BJP government, which has increased from Rs 1137.36 crore in 2012-13 to Rs 2001.83 crore in 2016-17 all these factors indicate that Goa is virtually in debt trap.
INFRASTRUCTURES LAWS AND PROCEDURES HAVE COLLAPSED
Mr Naik said PWD department of the State has collapsed and construction files of roads and building remained entangled in procedural red – tapism and scarcity of funds with the government. Investment promotion Board is ridden with corruption with, so called upright man Mr Manohar Parrikar, appears to have become a helpless creature.
Mr Naik taking stock of BJP government to mark the beginning of new year said that BJP has betrayed Goans on Mhadei issue, collided with Adani group on coal issue, succumbed to the pressures of Union Shipping Minister Nitin Gadkari on nationalisation of rivers issue ,failed and neglected to prepare Regional Plan, took economy of the State to bankruptcy and put Goa in a debt trap, did a fiasco on desecration issue and did total bungling on recruitment issue;
SOURCE OF BJP’s POWER IS EVMS AND NOT THE PEOPLE
Mr Naik said that said BJP’s source of power is not people of the country but Electronic Voting Machines, and said, that Government of India, Supreme Court of India and Election Commission should review their decisions and discards EVMs in national interest.
PWD IS IN ISU
Mr Naik said PWD department of the State has collapsed and construction files of roads and building remained entangled in procedural red tapism and scarcity of funds with the government. Investment promotion Board is ridden with corruption and no modern technology is used for preparing estimate, determine quality of works or test material.
NO SUBSTANTIAL LAWS OR PROCEDURES MODIFIED TO EACH THE OBECTIVE OF EASE OF DOING BUSINESS.
Ease of doing business is nowhere seen in Goa this is evident from the fact that Goa Government has not even simplified the Rules of Business of the Government, the Government websites are in shambles, construction laws, conversion laws, partition laws,
Communications through e mails from State Government to various departments of the Government or to local bodies like Municipalities and Panchayats has not being adopted, for the benefit of the people, as a result, the government decisions go in snails speed since communications are made through letters.
Legislations providing for time bound services to the people, which, if the government was serious towards its implementation, would have given to the common man a relief to a great extent and the government appears to be serious in the matter.
COURT PROCEDURES AND DELAYS
In Goa, proceedings in District Courts, Civil Courts, revenue Courts like Collectors Mamlatdars, still take ten years and upwards for disposals and no simplification of laws or procedures, has taken place and litigants still go from pillar to post in Goa in search of justice with the CM, who encompasses all portfolios, including Law and Justice,
CONSTRUCTION LICENCES
Mr Naik said despite tall talks made by CM construction laws and procedures in the State have become more and more complicated and ease of doing business is nowhere experienced by the people, on the contrary, no construction licence or Conversion Sanads, is available to common man without warming palms of bureaucrats.
