PANJIM, JAN 20 - Sounding an alarm bell for the 40 MLAs at the coming hustings, Goynche Niz Mogi (GNM) asserted that 'money power' and 'muscle power' would fail to intimidate Goan voters this time as was evident from the de-notification of the Regional Plan 2011 where people's power worked. Speaking at a press conference in the city, GNM President James Fernandes reiterated that every administrative sphere was mired in corruption. If Goa is to be saved then the 40 legislators manning the assembly should be defeated at all costs, he stressed. Fernandes categorically held MLAs from Saligao, Navelim, Panjim, Poriem, Taleigao, Madkai, Aldona, Ponda and Curotrim responsible for the major destruction caused around Goa. These nine have challenged us by stating "does GNM have the money to defeat us." He went on to express that these and the other 31 MLAs think they that they can buy Goans and win elections all the time. At the coming hustings people are going to teach these 40 a lesson for they've been taken for a ride. I am sure all these will be humiliated making them forfeit their deposits, he added. Vice President, Jacinto Barreto, retired Additional Collector, also addressed the press on the corruption he encountered during his working tenure. _______________________________________________ Saligao 403511 website http://saligao.goa-india.org Saligaonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goacom.org/mailman/listinfo/saligaonet
