PANAJI: Putting all speculation to rest that he may jump to another political party ahead of the assembly election, BJP Panaji MLA Atanasio ‘Babush’ Monserrate on Tuesday said he is here to stay in BJP.
“There were some difficult times for some karyakartas, some things must have been hurting them. So I would like to tell everyone that we are here to work together as I am here to stay. Let us clear that doubt if anyone thinks I am moving anywhere. I have come back to my nest,” Monserrate said.
The legislator on Tuesday said that the lion’s share Sattari has been taking as far as government employment is concerned, should be transferred to Panaji. He assured the youth of Panaji that he would fight to provide them with employment.
In the presence of chief minister Pramod Sawant at a public meeting in Panaji, Monserrate said parents have come for the meeting seeking jobs for their children and that they should tell their children that he would fight to get jobs for them.
“I think many of the youth have elected me most because of employment. And I request the chief minister that the lion’s share which Sattari taluka is taking be transferred to Panaji,” Monserrate said even as he pointed out that most government offices are functioning from the state capital.
