I am overwhelmed by the good response from the people of Mapusa. As you know, my father the late Francis D’Souza was the Mapusa MLA for 20 years. I am being his son, people have high expectations from me. I have inherited humbleness from my father… the people expect help in availing government schemes.
I am told that various projects have been in the pipeline, and some of the proposals have got government’s approval. If elected, I will follow up the projects and see that all things are put in place. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has assured me full support in completing pending projects in the next three years. I am thankful to the Chief Minister for reposing his confidence in me. As regards the master plan, my father had given a  freehand to Sudhir Kandolkar to handle the matter. And to be frank, I never interfered with it when my father was an MLA and a minister. Now I have decided to look into it. I assure the people that after getting elected, of which I am confident of, I will consult the stakeholders and people of Mapusa before finalising the proposed master plan.
