Accusing Congress general secretary and Saligao candidate Agnelo Fernandes of misguiding the people of Saligao, Goa Forward Party’s Saligao candidate Jayesh Salgaonkar on Thursday said the Congress candidate was spreading rumours about him joining the BJP after the elections.
“The Congress candidate is spreading lies about me to the voters of Saligao. He is telling the people that I will join BJP after the elections,” Salgoankar said. “If I get elected as GFP candidate, how will I be able to join BJP? I will have to first resign and then re-contest on BJP ticket to do that,” he added.
The GFP candidate was addressing a news conference along with Pilerne Citizens Forum and the deputy sarpanch of Nerul in Mapusa.
“Agnelo Fernandes should first explain why his Candolim Panchayat was supporting BJP in Calangute, while he was contesting as a Congress candidate in Saligao.”
He said Nerul deputy sarpanch, Peidade Almeida and panch Narcis Almeida were fully backing him in his door-to-door campaign in Saligao.
Pilerne Citizens Forum president Prakash Bandodkar said the Forum fully supported Jayesh Salgoankar in Saligao.
