Aldona MLA Glenn Ticlo said that he wouldn’t like to speculate who would be the next minister in the government but he was confident that the party would take an appropriate decision in the matter.Ticlo also said that BJP has done a lot of development work in the State and therefore leaders from other parties were itching to join the saffron party.
“About ministry…that is all decided by the party. The party will take an appropriate decision. They will decide who will be the next minister. But I am sure they will do justice and offer a ministry to a person who deserves it,” Ticlo said.
The Aldona MLA was responding to a query whether injustice will be done to him if new members joining the party were considered for a cabinet post.
After former Goa Forward Party MLA, Jayesh Salgaonkar joined the BJP last week there are enough indications that Congress MLA Ravi Naik will be next to follow.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has also not denied whether there would be a cabinet shakeup on account of entry of new members in the party.
This is Ticlo’s second term as the BJP MLA from Aldona and he would expect to be considered for a cabinet post.
Speaking further, the Aldona MLA said people wanted to join the BJP because they were aware that only the BJP can provide stability and do development.
“Leaders from other parties want to join BJP because they want development and that can be done only by BJP. They also know that BJP can provide a stable government which is very important,” he said.
He said despite the pandemic the government managed to carry out so much development in the State.
“Also the government has been able to service all the social welfare schemes despite the financial crunch. There may have been some delay but people have been paid,” he said.
Recently, Ticlo took up hot-mixing of internal roads in Calvim and construction of a compound wall around the football ground in the village all totaling to around Rs 84 lakh.
He said work of hot-mixing of several other roads got delayed due to the rains but will be taken up soon.
