Mhambre also spoke about how the BJP does not listen to Goans and only listens to their high command which based in Delhi and likened Pramod Sawant to a puppet of this high command.
“There is only one party which runs on the basis of what the people want, that is the Aam Aadmi Party.” said Mhambre
Adv Prasad Shahpurkar pointed out that people of Mandrem were neglected by the traditional political parties and no work was done in interest of the people.
“It is time when people of Mandrem reject the old parties and elect the a govt which works in in interest of common man. May it be electricity, water, roads, education or health,” said Adv Shahpurkar.

But at the same time, people receive huge bills.” The locals who joined the party were formally inducted in the party by AAP Goa Convenor Mhambre.
