MARGAO
Aam Aadmi Party leaders and volunteers assembled at the historic Lohia Maidan, Margao on Saturday with party chief Amit Palyekar demanding that the Congress party lodge FIRs against the eight defectors based on the affidavits signed by the MLAs that they will not leave the party, if elected.
AAP Benaulim MLA Venzy Viegas went a step further to make a fervent plea to the people of Goa to boycott the Congress, the Hand symbol and shut down the party offices in protest against the defections and for taking the people of Goa for a ride.
Addressing the media, AAP chief Amit Palyekar demanded to know why the Congress leaders are not placing the affidavits sworn in by the eight MLAs in public domain and file FIRs. “If the Congress does not initiate action against the eight defectors by lodging the FIRs based on the affidavits,” he said.
In his address, MLA Venzy charged the Congress for strengthening the BJP across the country, and called upon the people to boycott the symbol hand and shut the Congress party offices.
