Accompanied by party candidate Satyavijay Naik, Damu, Ulhas and sitting ZP member Paresh Naik along with workers sought blessing of Goddess Shantadurga at the Shantinagar temple before flagging off the election campaign.
Addressing the party workers, State BJP president Damu said that party workers should put in hard work to retain the seat. “The BJP had won the seat in the 2020 election and had retained the seat in the by-poll. It’s now time for the party workers to go to the people to drum up support for the party candidate Satyavijay Naik,” he said.
In his address, the Navelim MLA urged the party workers to bring awareness about the development schemes of the Central government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the schemes launched by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and the development work ushered in Navelim during the last three years.
“The BJP had won the Davorlim ZP seat in the past. We have to put in hard work to retain the seat,” he added.
