Panaji: Leaders of Goa’s tribal community are angry over the lack of initiative shown by the state government in completing the process of demarcation of constituencies for the Scheduled Tribe community in Goa ahead of the assembly elections. Mission Political Reservation for STs of Goa, which has been fighting for political reservation for three years, has given the government a two-day ultimatum to complete the formalities of reservation in the state assembly under Article 332 of the Constitution of India.Leaders of the movement accused the BJP-led government and Chief Minister Pramod Sawant of taking the tribals lightly. “The tribal minister keeps saying he is trying, but we need something concrete from him and the government. They will extend it beyond 2027. This is injustice. They think we are voiceless and powerless,” said Joao Fernandes, president of the Mission Political Reservation for STs of Goa.ST community members from different parts of Goa gathered outside the Tribal Department office to demand clarity regarding political reservation for STs.Tribal Welfare Director Nilesh Dhaigodkar said that the process of giving reservation to ST community in the assembly elections is under process. While the tribal leaders have threatened to intensify their agitation if their demands are not met in two days, they did not reveal their long-term plans for the assembly elections.Tribal leader Govind Shirodkar said, “Now the government is yet to issue a notification authorizing the Election Commission of India to demarcate constituencies for the ST community. They have now come up with all-India delimitation, and they are using it to hang delays on our necks. The efforts are now stuck. That is why we are giving them a two-day ultimatum.”Members of Mission Political Reservation said that the agitation will continue outside the department until the final notification is issued.
