Alina says she is against all three linear projects, denies Godinho’s claims on Cortalim polls

Panaji: Former BJP MLA and now Aam Aadmi Party Cortalim leader Alina Saldanha speaking to media persons in Goa, said that she is against the BJP government’s stand on various environment issues and the three upcoming linear projects in Goa that cut through acres of protected forest land.

Saldanha said, “I have done a lot of development in Cortalim but I am against the three linear projects being done in the name of development.”

Commenting on BJP Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho’s claims that Saldanha could win the Cortalim seat only because of his efforts and campaigning during the assembly elections in 2017, Saldanha denied Godinho’s claims.

She said, “Actually, Mauvin contested in Cortalim earlier but lost badly and moved to Dabolim, which was an easier constituency due to its larger migrant population.” (Goa Media Network)
