Social worker & former Mayem ZP member Meghana Yende declared support to Congress-GFP alliance candidate for Mayem Santosh Kumar Sawant.
“We will now work wholeheartedly for Santosh’s victory as he has the potential of transforming the face of Mayem into a modern, developed constituency while maintaining the environment of this naturally beautiful area.”
At a press conference on Monday, though the ex-ZP member was absent because of ill-health, her spouse, prominent citizen & social worker, Mahesh Yende expressed his disappointment at the performance of the previous MLAs of the constituency and said that Mayem needs a dynamic leader like Santosh, states a press release.
“In spite of being with the ruling party, which had a huge majority, Pravin Zantye or the local BJP leadership could not solve minor local issues like tarring of existing roads. Neither was there any initiative on their part to look into the problems of mining dependents that were left high and dry. The BJP has let down Mayem and Goa and totally polluted the political atmosphere. So, it is now the duty of each and every voter to support this alliance that the Congress & GFP has stitched. This alliance is giving us fresh and dynamic leaders who are keen to change the politics of the State and to protect our land and environment,” he said.
