PANAJI
At a massive public meeting held in Fatorda on Friday, Goa Forward Party president and Fatorda candidate Vijai Sardesai called upon the people of Fatorda to reject the corrupt BJP which has looted Goa and given us Goa’s most corrupt and communal government, stated a press release.
Sardesai also said, “There is no option other than Congress-Goa Forward alliance to stop the sale of Goa. We have to awaken to save our beautiful Goem. This BJP has sold Mhadei, it has sold our lives during the Covid pandemic, it has sold our forests for coal transportation, it has sold our rivers, riverbanks and coastline. It has even sold jobs. If we re-elect BJP, they will sell Goa overnight and leave us with a black coal-filled Goa.”
Sardesai was speaking at a meeting of the Congress-Goa Forward Party alliance in the Fatorda constituency. The meeting sported a galaxy of speakers, including Digambar Kamat, Sudhindra Kulkarni, Dr Babita Prabhudesai, Pooja Naik, Mohandas Lolienkar, Prince Jacob, former RSS worker Kiran Nayak, renowned physician Dr Reena Gracias among others, the release adds.
Prince Jacob recalled the events of 2017, “After GFP joined the BJP-led government, I criticised Vijai badly. But he did not retaliate. On the contrary, he accepted his mistake and repented. This proves his courage and conviction. This alliance of Congress and GFP is Goa’s saviour during these difficult times. Support them and elect Vijai by a huge margin”.
Kulkarni said, “This is not the BJP of Vajpayee that respected all communities. This is the Modi-Shah BJP which divides the country on religion. You have to choose between the Congress-BJP alliance that unites and the BJP that divides. The BJP today projects Swami Vivekananda as a Hindutva icon, but this is part of their fake news narrative. Swamiji came to Goa to study Christianity and praised Jesus Christ. Unite to throw out this fake BJP, which is the most anti-national party. Goa can show the country how to defeat Modi in 2024.”
