core

election committee passed a resolution on Friday “ratifying” his decision to extend “unconditional” support to BJP to form the next government.

Lourenco said he held a meeting with his

supporters

on Friday.

“The meeting further unanimously resolved that Lourenco be given a

cabinet

berth with allocation of suitable portfolios considering his political acumen being a fourth consecutive term legislator, coupled with the demands of his constituents for further development of Curtorim constituency,” Lourenco’s core election committee said in a statement.

The committee noted that Curtorim constituency has not had representation in the State Cabinet for over two decades, which has impacted development work and fulfillment of the people's aspirations to some extent, the press note added.

Lourenco briefed those present about his plans for Curtorim and Goa and of “making Curtorim a model constituency as promised to the people.”
