MARGAO: New Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao on Friday said Goa and Goans are facing tough challenges on various fronts, besides environment and heritage; Goa's identity is at stake.
Reacting after being recognised by the Speaker as Leader of Opposition in the Goa Legislative Assembly, Alemao said that he will adopt a consultative process with all opposition MLAs and lead to espouse the voice of Goans and be the guard against abuse of power.
“I will also have a dialogue with all NGOs, industry and trade associations and social and cultural groups to understand and voice their issues,” he stated.
He further said that Goa and Goans are facing tough challenges on various fronts. “Our environment, heritage and identity are at stake. Unemployment rate is at an all time high with the Government clueless on creating employment opportunities. My first task will be to initiate a people's movement against the anti-people policies of the government,” stated Alemao.
