Goa Speaker says ‘doesn’t recognise’ Rane govt

‘‘Lack of knowledge perhaps makes the Speaker believe that he has some authority to recognise or derecognise the executive when they have actually been sworn in by a higher constitutional authority,’’ said Congress spokesman Jitendra Deshprabhu.

The Congress has announced it would screen CDs of last week’s Assembly proceedings when Satarkar ordered marshals to throw out Independent MLA Philipe Neri Rodrigues and declared Parrikar victorious in a confidence vote. State Congress chief Luizinho Faleiro said recordings of the Assembly proceedings would be shown across the state.
