GFP-Cong alliance will bring in change that Goans want: Vijai

PANAJI

GFP President Vijai Sardesai mentioned that Congress-GFP alliance can give a direction to the winds of change.  He said, “Mandrem will get an international tourism after Mopa airport. The land here will be more valuable but if real estate scams continue to take place here, then Goa will become a hub of crimes. This will be altogether a different state.” 

He said, “Property Sawant is enjoying his ‘acche din’ after becoming a mine owner.” He called BJP as Bhrashtachari Janata Party as they are set to sell Goa. Speaking on inflation and false promises, he mentioned that Goans have been suffering since last five years and now it’s time to change it for good. 

Sardesai recalled that fuel prices were decreased after debacle in bye-elections by Narendra Modi as he fears winds of change. Property Sawant doesn’t know all of this because he became a CM by fluke and not on mandate. 

Deepak Kalangutkar spoke about his manifesto. He promised sports complex for youth, construction of khazan bunds for effective farming, police station, electricity, 100 per cent internet connectivity, new roads, salt pan preservation and many necessities for Mandrem. “Most importantly people will soon witness the completion of Keri-Terekhol Bridge. BJP did not bother to complete any developmental works in Mandrem.”

President of Indian National Congress, Girish Chodankar  said that people are awaiting for the waves of change with a new leader. Mandrem must give a chance to young and dynamic leader Congress alliance GFP candidate Deepak Kalangutkar. 

Stating that BJP deletes all their manifestos after they get in power. Chodankar highlighted, “They promised 50,000 jobs and unemployment allowance to people in 2012, 2017, and same continues in 2022, yet we see no development.”

Ramakant Khalap, former Union Minister, “Deepak go forward. Victory is yours.” He spoke on various schemes of Congress Government. He mentioned about ‘Nyay’ scheme by Congress, which will provide Rs.6000 per month to all the needy. “Congress-GFP will take care of Goa,” he assured.

Sidhanath Buyao voiced his opinion through an impromptu song. He stated that we don’t want BJP Government that encouraged misrule and misgovernance (Ghataki and Pataki Sarkar), and Congress-GFP is the sorted choice for betterment of Goa. 

General Secretary of Congress Amit Sawant supported Deepak Kalangutkar who has worked to bring forward other leaders of Mandrem.
