Mauvin Godinho

on Tuesday accused Cortalim MLA Alina Saldanha, who also belongs to BJP, of not carrying out developmental work in Cortalim constituency.

“The projects being inaugurated now, are the ones which I had started in Cortalim constituency during my tenure. Saldanha has been inefficient to take up any work of development there during the past ten years,” Godinho said.

Saldanha had sometime ago alleged that Godinho was interfering in her constituency, especially in Sancoale panchayat, and accused him of being inefficient as Cortalim MLA constituency for not undertaking development despite representing it for several years.

On Tuesday, Sancoale panchayat shifted to a temporary premises, till a new building is constructed, and didn’t invite Saldanha for the event.

“Saldanha could not even complete the Kala Bhavan work which was 80% ready ten years ago,” he said, adding that “she should self-introspect rather than point fingers at others”.
