Medha Patkar for ‘one family,one elected representative’ formula

She was referring to allotment of 11 out of 33 assembly tickets to Goa’s leading Congress politicians and their kin.

Patkar said till the time such a cap was fixed “people have to decide whether they want two,three or just one person from a family elected.”

The noted social activist said NAPM was also looking at the possibility of having one member each of the two sexes as elected representatives in every constituency so that women got their due share in power.

In the tiny coastal state going to poll on March 3,the Congress has allotted 11 tickets to former chief ministers Churchill Alemao and Pratapsinh Rane,ministers Ravi Naik and Atanasio Monserratte,besides MLA Pandurang Madkaikar and their kin.
