Goa’s Public Works Department Minister Nilesh Cabral has resigned from the Pramod Sawant-led State Cabinet to make way for the induction of MLA Aleixo Sequeira.
Mr. Sequeira was among the eight MLAs who left the Opposition Congress last year and joined the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Chief Minister Sawant told PTI on Sunday that Mr. Cabral has resigned and his resignation has been sent to Governor P. S. Sreedharan Pillai for acceptance.
