MAPUSA
Scoffing at the opposition for questioning his ability to deliver, local MLA, Joshua D’Souza vowed to make Mapusa one of the best constituencies in the State.D’Souza also said that he believes in action and would make a promise only if it can be delivered.
“We are working day and night for the progress of Mapusa. I will make Mapusa one of the best constituencies in the state of Goa. Give me enough time and with no other adverse situation... I promise to the people of Mapusa we will deliver on every aspect of development, may it be, water, power or roads,” D’Souza said.
The Mapusa MLA was responding to an avalanche of criticism from the opposition after he announced plans to kick start developmental works worth Rs 140 crore in the constituency.
Leaders from Congress, NCP, AAP and Shiv Sena slammed the local MLA for failing to keep his commitment to get works done and moreover repeating the same promises made for the last 20 years.
D’Souza said the work of the opposition was to oppose, which actually did not bother him and he would continue to work for the people of Mapusa.
“I am glad they are opposing. So far they have never raised their voice,” he said, with a smirk on his face.
Reiterating his stand on the announcement of Rs 140 crore works for the town, he said, he made the plan public only after getting a firm assurance from the government.
