Goa CM Laxmikant Parsekar rules out possibility of dissolution of State Legislative Assembly

Panaji: Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar today ruled the possibility of dissolving the State Legislative Assembly and said the present government would continue to function ahead of the counting on March 11.

As per Article 174 of the Indian Constitution, the state legislative assembly should meet at least once in every six months, failing which the Governor may dissolve the legislative assembly.

For Goa, it was due before February 26 as the last assembly session was held on August 26. The Governor could not summon the session as the Election Model Code of Conduct is imposed since January 4.
