Coming out with its Mapusa specific manifesto, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) vowed to change the face of Mapusa by providing a host of modern facilities and restore its past glory by repurposing the heritage buildings in town.

The manifesto also has plans to install CCTV system, provide uninterrupted power and water supply and maintain a robust garbage collection and management system, besides assuring to fulfill the long pending demand of a Ravindra Bhavan and rejuvenation of Mapusa Tar River.
Describing the manifesto as “Our vision and action plan for Mapusa”, State convenor and AAP candidate for Mapusa, Rahul Mhambre said the manifesto stresses on rebuilding Mapusa and bringing about the necessary change. “We get most of the revenue from the Mapusa market but it lacks basic facilities. We want to improve and install new facilities by inviting stakeholders to be part of the market development process,” Mhambre said.
The State AAP convenor was addressing a news conference after releasing the Mapusa manifesto in the hands of Delhi MLA and AAP Goa desk in-charge Atishi Marlena.
Speaking on the occasion, AAP Goa desk in-charge Atishi Marlena said that Goa and Mapusa were longing for change and people of the State were now aware that only AAP can bring that change.
She said Goa’s identity is its heritage buildings and AAP will restore all these buildings and use it for better purpose.
