Panaji, Jun 22 (PTI) Goa Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai has summoned the monsoon session of the state legislative assembly from July 21.

It will be the tenth session for the current ruling dispensation led by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, after the 2022 state elections.

The monsoon session of the Goa assembly will be held from July 21 to August 8, as per a notification issued on Saturday.

Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao criticised the state government for reducing the number of working days of the session to 15, from the earlier practice of 18.

Alemao claimed the BJP government has been shrinking the assembly sessions sittings, like its promises, over the past three years.

"The summoning of the tenth session of the eighth legislative assembly for a mere 15 days makes it evident that it (government) has found an escape route from getting exposed," he alleged.

"Last year, it was 18 days, and now it is shorter by three days. I condemn the BJP's act of undermining democracy and the voices of people of the state," the LoP charged.

The curtailment of the assembly session is an endorsement of the government's failures in every sector, be it the state's financial position or unemployment, he claimed.

"We will expose this corrupt government and show how it also failed in governance," Alemao added.

Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar, however, said the schedule was the state cabinet's decision, based on which the governor has summoned the session.
