Expressing his disappointment during the induction of Manoj Kumar Naik as the new Curchorem BJP Mandal president on Sunday, Cabral highlighted the lack of progress on several projects, despite assurances from the Chief Minister Pramod Sawant during his visit at Curchorem last year.
“A year back, the Chief Minister came to Curchorem and said, ‘Bhivpachi garaz na, radpachi garaz na’. He had also stated that BJP will never forget those who sacrificed for the party. But even after a year, works related to several projects are not moving ahead,” Cabral lamented.
He said that construction of the bus stand, swimming pool and some other projects which were launched in 2012 are still not nearing completion.
“These projects were not for my interest and were meant for the people of Curchorem. Only two-and-half years are pending for this term and these works have been expedited. I will speak to the Chief Minister”, he said.
However, on Monday Cabral refuted criticising the government for slow pace of works in Curchorem and defended that he had only repeated the Chief Minister’s statement.
“I am quoted out of context. I was merely repeating the lines often spoken by the Chief Minister. It’s been a year since the upgraded hospital at Cacora, Curchorem, was inaugurated, but many facilities are still not provided there,” he added.
