“I would try my best to address issues plaguing Goa and Goans. We had raised various issues while in the Opposition, which were not looked into. Now being in the government, it gives us an opportunity to work on these. We have already had a tentative talk with Parrikar. So all of us as a young team can develop a better Goa and take it to the next level,” said Khaunte.  “We will ensure that what we had decided and what we had taken up “ Goem and Goemkarponn “ will be kept. I and Vijai are working out a common minimum programme in which most of the issues will be included,” he added further.  
Stating that they had two options “ on one side they had instability and leadership crisis and on the other had they had stability and a promise of better Goa, Khaunte clarified, “We have not joined any party. It is a coalition government. But we had entrusted that Parrikar will deliver like what he has done before. Whenever needed, we will raise our voice.”  
Stating that Congress could not even decide on their leader, he added, “We waited till the last minute for them to decide on their leadership. There we lots of infighting because of which things were not moving forward.”
