Losing MLA`s fold up office In the past and even at present most of the losing MLA`s normally close office of service to the constituents, for lack of Govt sponsored funds ,irrespective of those who might have voted for them The financial assistance given to the MLA`s to run offices are now stopped. Even otherwise they mostly employed their relatives and wives etc and paid pittance to other employees eligible for what Govt. sanctions. Take it or leave it is the order.
But now a novel approach seems to have evolved to keep losing MLA`s supporters of BJP in good humour There is no doubt, that CM will provide the necessary funds leaving no trace of its origin or the amount. Hence a few like Caitu Silva ,Benjamin Silva, Averatno, all losers have publicly vowed to keep their offices open to liason with BJP, courtesy their past masters paying back in gratitude for loyalty as a royalty. They have otherwise not have been known to be so charitable, so magnanimous. In fact, when in seat of power they were known to have sarcastically directing to previous losing MLA`s, who were supposed to have amassed wealth for generation to come. The clock gas turned back full circle as now new MLA` are following the old script paying back in he same coin Any takers/ Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
