Aam Admi party Benaulim MLA Venzy Viegas has on Monday said the party has shown at the grass-roots what Swaraj is all about, saying the party had stayed away from the elections for the panchayat bodies.
He told the media that out of the seven panchayat bodies, all the Sarpanchas and their deputies were elected unopposed, barring one panchayat. “For the first time ever, the presence of the MLA was not there in any of the panchayat bodies and the people were left free to decide for themselves”, he said.
He added: “This is a clear message that Swaraj and power has remained with the people in the villages. As an MLA, I had taken the initiative not to interfere in any of the panchayat bodies. We can see today there is no opposition for the Sarpanchas. This is leading by example”.
Venzy said AAP is the only future for politics in Goa, adding that the party have shown in Benaulim in the just concluded panchayat polls.
