Naik, who has spent his life serving the BJP, is now being ignored in his time of need. Are BJP karyakartas only useful during election time?\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Viegas further emphasised the urgency of the situation, noting Naik\u2019s deteriorating health. &#8220;He is an elderly man, and his family is deeply worried. This is a man who gave his life to the BJP\u2019s cause, and yet the government refuses to listen to him.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">AAP Velim MLA Engr. Cruz Silva also highlighted the ongoing issue, saying, \u201cThe Bhutani Infra mega-project issue has been raised several times in the Assembly, and we have demanded the government take action against the illegal activities. The TCP Minister Vishwajeet Rane had assured that if illegalities were found, they would inspect the site and revoke the licence. So why has just a show-cause notice been issued as a delay tactic, and why is the TCP department not acting firmly to revoke the permissions as assured by the Minister?\u201d, Silva demanded to know.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The AAP MLAs also confronted the Panchayat Secretary Orville Vales and exhorted him to revoke his signatures put on the project approvals.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Aam Aadmi Party demanded swift action from the Chief Minister, urging him to revoke the construction licence and bring an end to the protest.
