Bicholim Cong to field candidates in civic elections

Bicholim: The Bicholim block congress committee has planned to field candidates for the forthcoming municipality elections in all 14 wards of the Bicholim Municipal Council (BMC) area.
President of committee, Meghshyam Raut alleged that not a single councillor in the present BJP ruling council is interested in the development of Bicholim town. “Therefore, we have decided to field our candidates to promote all round human and infrastructural development in the town,” Raut told reporters.
Basic needs, like proper water and power supply are not being met by the government, he said.“There are open gutters at many places in Bicholim, which are potential mosquito breeding grounds, there is no proper play ground for the children and neither is there a cultural platform through which the talented youth of Bicholim can showcase their talent. It is necessary to address these issues on priority,” Raut said.
He called on those interested in serving society to contact the block development committee. “Congress will extend its support to such people if they wished to contest the municipality election on the congress ticket,” Raut said.
“Our plan is make BMC a shining example for the state and nation by making it an ideal town,” he said.
