Fund for MLAs will help development


The Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant took a bold decision to grant MLAs Rs 2.5 crore for development of his/her constituency. 

This was a much needed fund after the recent defection of several MLAs with the excuse of development. At least now Goans will not hear of more defections for the sake of development.

Praise to those MLAs who stayed put with their party, they now can work better for their constituency.

Hope better sense prevails with PWD -- which is appointed as the nodal department “ and not create hurdles for these politicians. 

Goa can now breathe and experience the slogan “Sabke sath sabka vikas”. Congratulations to out Chief Minister for this bold decision.
