    Fresh attempts on to topple Goa govt.

    Panaji (PTI): Attempts are on to reinitiate moves to topple the Congress-led government in Goa with discontent brewing within the ruling coalition, sources said on Monday.

    A high-level meeting of BJP leaders, along with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP) legislators and two independents was held in Mumbai on Sunday to discuss the strategy to topple the government, the sources said.

    However, when contacted by PTI, state BJP leader Manohar Parrikar declined to comment on any toppling bid.

    The Digamber Kamat-led coalition government, which is yet to complete one year in the chair, has already faced two unsuccessful toppling bids.

    Main coalition partner, NCP, had earlier expressed its dissatisfaction with the government.

    Also, NCP Goa Chief Dr Wilfred D'souza had stated that the government will not remain stable if their demands are not met.

    The NCP has been demanding to transfer of Finance portfolio from state Congress Minister Dayanand Narvekar, accusing him of delaying files relating to development.

    The demand, which was discussed with the Chief Minister, had snowballed into a major political crisis when on January 16, NCP along with MGP and an independent withdrew support.
