The Goa Suraksha Manch (GMS) has begun mobilising voters from Shiroda constituency with an eye to field a candidate for the forthcoming by-election following the resignation of Subhash Shirodkar as the Congress MLA.
Sources informed The Goan that GSM chief Subhash Velingkar has been visiting Shiroda and has convened meetings to persuade locals in connection with the ongoing politics.
Accompanying Velingkar have been GSM Vice President Adv. Swati Kerkar, Vice President Govind Dev, Harshad Dewari and others.
The GSM has so far convened meetings in Shiroda, Bethora and Borim.
“Yes, we have begun meeting voters and telling them about the politics taking place. People are angry over ‘leaping politics’ and hence they want a new face,” one GSM office bearer told The Goan on condition of anonymity.
“We have four persons on the list of probable candidates. We will take all people into confidence, before announcing the name,” the office bearer said.
Despite efforts, Velingkar could not be contacted
for comments.
