In the years gone by, Curtorim MLA Alex Reginaldo was seen taking up issues concerning Goa and Goans during the Assembly session but now it seems he has lost his voice and that zing that he had especially regarding the three linear projects.
It is anybody’s guess why the fiery legislator has a change of heart and is not in a position to speak anything against the government. This happens when one decides to back the government. Looks like he will only protect his vote banks in his constituency so that they elect him again.
The only MLAs who raise their voice for Goa are Vijai Sardesai, Yuri Alemao, the RG and AAP.
The only notable demand that Reginaldo has put in the Assembly is to increase the DSSSY pension from Rs 2000 to Rs 3,000. It's a good move but the present government failed to give the grants for 4 months and senior citizens were left in the lurch.
Hope Reginaldo follows up on this and ensures that the government make the payments as soon as possible.
