VASCO: Former Congress MLA from Curtorim turned Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco, who arriving at Dabolim airport after joining the party in Kolkata launched a tirade against his former party.
“The Congress on many occasions even sidelined me still I never raised objections as I don’t want to create problems for the party. I never asked for a working president post but they made me. After that I gave several suggestions to unite and fight the BJP. My only request was that they should not let any opportunity fail but they fell on deaf ears. Then I saw TMC doing something and I saw TMC having some fire to do something head-on and hence I decided to join them” he said
Taking on the GPCC president, he said, “I want to ask Girish Chodankar what he did when ten MLAs moved out and he got the party from 16 to 2 MLAs. Let anyone prove if I have taken money from CM Dr Pramod Sawant. I want to ask Digambar Kamat, Dinesh Gundu Rao and Girish Chodankar many questions but not make allegations as I have a class. I want to tell them that I have been the voice of opposition in a stable and consistent mindset,” said Reginald.
“I want to tell my Facebook critics that I haven’t made any money, nor have I purchased any house. I am a common man and my people know all the truth. I don’t remember the last time I took my family to a seven star hotel for dinner,” said Reginaldo.
