Alemao also expressed his displeasure that no action has been taken on the illegal construction in Old Goa, even though it has been three months since it was announced that the illegal construction will be demolished.

"The Chief Minister should keep his word otherwise people will teach him a lesson in elections. If this construction is not demolished, then it will be difficult to even get five BJP candidates elected," Alemao said
