People joining Cong realising chicanery of BJP: Party prez

PANAJI
Goa Congress President Girish Chodankar took a potshot at the ruling party and stated that people from all across the State have started joining the Congress because “the people of Goa have also realised the chicanery of the BJP”.

“Goans are now joining the Congress as we have never given any false promises to the people. Our government even took bold decisions of scrapping the Regional Plan, Nylon 66 project and SEZ project respecting the sentiments of the public. People have also realised the chicanery of the BJP,” he said.

Chodankar also insisted that doors of the Congress are permanently closed for all those who defected and changed sides for selfish gains. 

“Instead of ‘har har Modi, ghar ghar Modi’, BJP has delivered ‘har ghar Covid, har ghar drugs, har ghar financial burdens’. Goans have recently witnessed blunt lies about 100% open defecation-free, electrification and water connections,” Chodnakr stated.

He was speaking at the function organized by the Mandrem Block Congress Committee wherein former Tuem sarpanch Sweta Naik along with members of five self-help groups namely Yashashwini Self Help Group, Utkarsha Self Help Group, Bandeshwar Self Help Group, Fulati Fula Self Help Group and Valankani Self Help Group joined the Congress.
