Former Power minister and four-time Congress MLA Alex Sequeira has announced his retirement from politics on Wednesday.
He has been denied election ticket in Nuvem constituency on
grounds that the Catholic church has opposed his nomination. Congress is going
to field Wilfred D’Sa in Nuvem.
Alex
addressed media on Wednesday and said he
was denied the election ticket by the Congress party because of alleged
objection from the Catholic church. He
however feels the report is fabricated.
Alex sarcastically commented that the Pradesh Election Committee members have managed to secure their nomination.
