The former Cortalim MLA Alina Saldanha who have recently joined in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have extended her support to the hunger strike proposed by the villagers under the banner of Cansaulim Arossim Cuelim Villagers Action Group against the third hotel project proposed in the village of Cansaulim Arossim Cuelim on the occasion of Goa Liberation Day on Sunday.
The agitated villagers would hold the hunger strike for a day in order divert the attention of the government for opposing the project which is against the interest of the people. It may be recalled that the villagers have alleged the the government officers are allowing corporates to convert village fields into development zone, despite complaints by the villagers and hence they are forced to take decision of hunger strike on Goa Liberation Dy so that government might come and listen to their grievances.
