Off late, the man who had media’s darling did not even have a face to speak to media and sent a recorded video message saying Congress is not serious about fighting BJP. What a shame!!! Reginaldo.
For all five years, you were the one hobnobbing with the BJP. You were seen in the Chief Ministers or other Cabinet ministers office more than the Congress office.
You were the one who enjoyed all the facilities and got the projects sanctioned.
Instead of blaming Congress, you must retrospect and ask yourself who was wrong?
Goans supported you because you were sidelined by Congress, but today, the party had given you everything; why did you betray Goans?

It’s shameful on the part of Congress MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco, who resigned from Congress only to join the West Bengal Party – the Trinamool Congress.
Considered one of the honest legislators in Goa Legislative Assembly, Reginaldo did not only betray the trust of his voters but that of the entire Goa.
Soon after resigning, the former MLA rushed to Kolkata, and today he joined TMC.

Reginald met BJP election in-charge Devendra Fadnavis several times, but the GPCC saved him as the president said he had gone to meet an election strategist.
Traitor – a word used by GPCC President Girish Chodankar seems the right one.
We realise now that Reginaldo is a self-centred politician who thinks only of himself and wants more attention.
His theatrics just ahead of his birthday on October 4 is unforgettable. He first spread rumours of him joining AAP, after which the Congress leaders rushed to his house to convince him.
The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also spoke to him and gave him a wanted position. He was made Working president and a campaign committee in charge. What more did he want? But we realise the AAP drama was only to bargain with Congress.
After cracking the Congress deal, he announced, “Lots of parties approached me with a lot of issues and how to go about it. I met many people these days and even voiced my opinion and highlighted differences. I spoke to the party (Congress leadership) about what Goa needs to be done, right up to Rahul Gandhi and (AICC desk in-charge) Dinesh Gundu Rao,” the Congress legislator said.
“After discussion, we have come to an opinion on what people want – that we unite to fight the BJP…. I call on the people to also let us unitedly fight the BJP. Let there be no difference of opinion on the fact that we have decided to unitedly fight the BJP,” Lourenço had said at the briefing.
Now, what happened, Reginaldo. Did TMC give you a better offer than Congress, which you had bargained?
People have realised that you are not the man of the word, and they will show you your place appropriately.
Reginald, who was given so much love by the people, failed to understand that people here do not allow waste to be transported from one constituency to another; how will they allow waste to be brought all the waste from West Bengal?
He has also forgotten that he himself was against the migrants in Margao, Curtorim and other areas.
