Cong blames SEZ lobby

18 January 2008
Despite the Goa political
crisis taking a new turn on Friday with the three defiant NCP MLAs trying to form
a new government, beleaguered Chief Minister Digamber Kamat put up a brave front
as he met party president Sonia Gandhi.
"We met Gandhi and briefed
her about the political situation in Goa. We discussed the situation. Now we will
talk to NCP leaders again and a solution will be found," Kamat told reporters
after meeting Gandhi.
The Chief Minister was accompanied by AICC General
Secretary B K Hariprasad and PCC chief Francisco Sardinha in the meeting with
the party president.
The AICC put the blame squarely on the "SEZ lobby"
for the political crisis as party leaders suggested that it would be a miracle
if the government could be saved.
Kamat, who arrived in the capital to
talk to the central leadership, earlier in the day virtually put up his hands
and said God will save his government.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi
accused the "SEZ lobby" of creating political instability and dismissed
suggestions that the party was ready to change the chief minister.
"There
is no question of compromising with immorality and illegality," he said.
"What is unconstitutional, illegal, immoral is the blatant way in
which every five months a government is sought to be destabilised," Singhvi
said.
