Digital Goa, Nov 19 – Nuvem MLA Aleixo Sequeira is all set to join CM Pramod Sawant cabinet. Aleixo said that he got a call today that he will be sworn in as Minister. He expressed happiness over the decision of the party. He however added that he felt awkward as Nilesh Cabral had to step down. “Man to man, he was a friend. He has helped me whilst he was the minister. I cannot deny the fact,” he added. Erstwhile Congress MLA, Aleixo had defected with 7 other Congress MLAs to BJP in September 2022.
Former CM and now BJP MLA Digambar Kamat who had also left Congress along with Aleixo to join BJP reacted to the development by saying, “I am the happiest man today.”
