Goa: There is a little doubt that Wilfred D’sa switches from Congress to BJP, along with nine other, surprising Nuvem.
The first MLA was the last to join a defective group and, according to several accounts, requires a lot of convincing.
Moving D’Sa to BJP in Catholic-dominated constituencies remain a point of talk.
But two years since then, the legislator hopes voters to understand their coercion.
“Did he have a choice,” asked one of his supporters from Nagoa.
“He is the last to join, and if he doesn’t move, other people from Congress will jump.
Being in the opposition, Babashan (because he is known to be popular) can not do anything.
The file will not move, whether it is for land or multipurpose halls .
“To explain the developments initiated by MLA – now fighting as an independent – other supporters issued a six page booklet that lists all of the works in the entire village of Nuvem, Verna, Betalbatim, Majora, Loutolim and Nagoa.
“It’s around Rs 140 Crore,” he added.
The enumerators have a different taking.
“Just mix a few roads instead of development.
He has betrayed everyone’s trust by joining BJP.
For the kindness of Goa’s politics, defect causes cannot be submitted in the second term,” said a village resident of Louletim.
Interestingly, Louletim has become a traditional fortress of the Congress.
In 1999, Aleixo Sequeira was elected unrivaled from here as MLA, and even though the former minister of power was unable to hammer D’Sa Defection Stick – he himself was part of the group of 11 members who lowered the Government of Congress Luzinho Faleiro after five months in the late nine times – Supporters said the constituency had seen a little development in the last 10 years.
Sequeira lost to Francisco ‘Mickky’ Pacheco in 2012 and moved away from elections in 2017 after he was rejected by Congress tickets.
With this party now bring it back, veteran politicians are banking with traditional voices to ensure that the congress does not lose its relationship with constituencies.
However, other players have different ideas.
TMC’s Jose ‘Raju’ Cabral has managed to make a buzz.
He is a serious prosecutor for Congress tickets but with Sequeira as a barrier to loyalty.
“Raju is strong in his native village of Nagoa and now pulls a voice from Louletim too, may damage the congress,” said an observer of polls from the electoral district.
Former Pacheco tourism minister should be a serious competitor.
He won from here in 2012, lost in 2017, but his decision to return to Nuvem, the observer said, only after he was rejected by the Congress ticket in the Benaulim.
Mickky must have good sympathizers in the electoral district, but the former tourism minister was left too much to do in too little time.
AAP Marian Godinho took 3,389 votes in 2017 but, those who knew said that they did not do enough since expanding the base or party base, besides protesting in front of D’Sa’s house on the second birthday of his defection to BJP.
.
The accident continued to be a talk point here where three former Mola jostled for seats alone.
If D’Sa can convince voters that it moves for the good of constituencies, more than half the battle will be won.
