Around 80 women, mostly from Carmona village joined the Aam Aadmi Party thereby launching AAP's women wing in Benaulim constituency.
Capt Venzy Veigas said it was high time women began asserting themselves, especially in Benaulim constituency as they outnumber the males.
Flossy Rodrigues who joined AAP said they were fed up with how parties like Congress and BJP only use people.
"These parties have destroyed Goa and Goans for personal gains," she said and added that AAP is of the common people and for the common people.
"It's becoming increasingly difficult for us women to run our homes due to sky-rocketing prices of vegetables and the government is ignoring our plight. The government is incapable and it is time that we women should choose a government which can work for women" said Patricia Fernandes.
Olda George pointed out that women live in Goa while their husbands work overseas and hence suffer from the wrong governance.
"Since we bear the brunt in Goa it is time we women come forward and assert ourselves," she said.
The women's wing also launched the Medical Equipment Facilitating Unit for the rural population which will give medical equipment on a returnable basis to deserving people.
