CURTORIM: Curtorim MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco has emerged as the top-performing MLA in Goa in a survey conducted by CPIE India, according to a press note issued by Goa Media Network.
The survey, which covered more than 8,000 voters across 40 constituencies, assessed sitting MLAs on parameters including accessibility to constituents, availability, interaction with media and professionals, constituency-level work and their stand on environmental and pollution-related issues.
According to the survey findings cited in the press note, Lourenco received the highest number of positive responses among the MLAs covered. The proposed top-ten list also includes Vijai Sardesai, Nilesh Cabral, Carlos Alvares Ferreira, Atanasio ‘Babush’ Monserrate and Subhash Shirodkar, among others.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant was excluded from the MLA ranking as he holds the additional position of Chief Minister, with voters from his constituency also excluded from the calculation, the press note stated.
CPIE India spokesperson Charleston Fernandes said the organisation conducted confidential voter interactions, with around 200 respondents targeted in each constituency, to obtain feedback on the performance and accessibility of elected representatives.
The survey forms part of CPIE India’s proposed ‘Goa MLAs Report Card’, which is being conducted ahead of the next Assembly elections.
The final detailed ranking and report are expected to provide constituency-wise feedback on the performance and accessibility of sitting MLAs.
