First time voters are joining party: Goa Forward

PANAJI
Goa Forward supremo Vijai Sardesai at a press briefing held on Friday said, “The youth of Goa are joining Goa Forward Party for clean politics and to clean politics. 

In a press note, Sardesai stated that as a local party, GFP always has a place for youngsters who want to play a major role in bringing a change in Goa.

“Youngsters belonging to the age of 18 to 20 years are in natural support of GFP. They want to participate in social upliftment and be actively involved in Goa’s progress. The youth who have joined us today are students who are well-qualified. Two have pursued engineering and some have completed their BCom and BBA,” stated Sardesai.

Sardesai further added that youth are joining GFP out of choice. “No one coerced these youngsters to join the party. They chose to support us. This is commendable because while political parties are recruiting youth on payroll to accumulate votes, GFP has won their hearts and given them a platform to work for Goa,” added Sardesai.

He added that the moral character of politics needs to be transformed. “Politics is serious work and that spark of seriousness can be seen in these youth. GFP has received only three seats but the party is in alliance with Congress. We have made sacrifices in seat-sharing for the better future of Goa,” stated Sardesai.

Arab Khan, one of the youngsters who joined GFP, announced that he willingly decided to join and support the local party to transform Goa. “Sardesai sir and his party have inspired us. GFP has given us a voice to speak against injustice. He is the only person who gave us a chance to speak for ourselves, to speak for our Goa,” he stated.
