Exuding confidence that Congress candidate Francisco Sardinha will get a huge lead in Curtorim, Curtorim MLA Reginaldo Lourenco said BJP’s attempt to gain a foothold in Curtorim constituency will not succeed in the April 23 Lok Sabha election.
Flanked by Curtorim ZP member Moreno Rebello, Curtorim Sarpanch Rui Menezes, Deputy Sarpanch Flarina Barretto, panch members Simon Barretto, Nicholas Paes and others, the three-time Curtorim MLA told the media that the BJP will not succeed in creating confusion amongst the people by claiming that panchas from Curtorim constituency have joined and are supporting the BJP. “None of the panch members of Curtorim panchayat have joined the BJP nor are supporting the ruling party,” he asserted, while accusing the BJP for misguiding the media ahead of the April 23 election.
“We want to make it clear that we are all united behind the Congress candidate. We know that the BJP wicket is weak, but the BJP leaders should not make it known that it is very bad. Whatever our differences, we are all with the Congress candidate,” he said, while asserting they will all unitedly work towards the success of the Congress to give a huge lead for Francisco Sardinha.
Claiming that Panchayat Minister Mauvin Godinho is promising development to lure the panch members to the BJP, Reginaldo said the Panchayat Minister should prove himself by taking a huge lead for the BJP candidate in his Dabolim constituency.
