The mayor promised to take action againsterring parties on the advertisements and expressed his confidence that if his government came into power they would get rid of the casinos from mandovi River.

Furtado was the Congress candidate in the recent by-poll after the then Panaji MLA Manohar Parrikar was elevated as the Defence Minister.
