Goa dy speaker Aleixo Sequiera resigns

In a dramatic development, the deputy speaker of the Goa assembly, Aleixo Sequiera, today resigned from his post.

Sequiera said he forwarded his resignation to the speaker, Pratapsingh Rane, but did not assign any reasons for his move. He merely said it was a part of a new political development in the Congress Legislature Party.

Top party sources said Sequiera, a known rival of Chief Minister Luizinho Faleiro, has now made common cause with dissidents in the party.
