It was a high voltage drama at the Dabolim airport on Sunday afternoon after Congress leader Alka Lamba arrived in Goa apparently on the same flight as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and was greeted by Congress workers on arrival.

While a large number of supporters of AAP were present at the airport, their  slogans praising AAP intensified as Lamba arrived at the gate and Congress workers arrived to recieve her 

Lamba however went a step ahead and undeterred by the huge presence of AAP supporters told media that AAP was in Goa to misguide the people. 

"I am sure it will be the Congress Government in Goa this time and we have seen the response to Rahul Gandhi during his recent visit where he met the fishermen community and even took up women empowerment, mining related and other issues but sadly some leaders arrive to Goa to play communal politics. Kejriwal has no answers to how a church was demolished in Delhi while he was in power and Goans must ask him for an explanation," said Lamba. 

"Please come and see Delhi for yourself, the air is polluted, the water is polluted , the crime rate is at its peak with around 6 rapes a day and the Kejriwal Government in Delhi is a super flop and he has arrived in Goa to carry out an experiment after he failed miserably here the last time. Let him take care of Delhi because Goans know what they need," said Lamba.

"Goa has suffered in the last five years with the BJP government and they have now sent their B Team here to divide anti-BJP Vote and the people must ensure that this does not happen. Whether TMC or AAP, they are here to misguide the Goans and I want to ask what the CM Arvind Kejriwal has done in Delhi and we will break the myth of Delhi Model and not allow them to fall in this trap. The people must ask them what the AAP did for Goa in the last five years," said Lamba.
