RGP in fray as matter of right: Manoj takes on Congress, BJP at Aquem
MARGAO: Revolutionary Goans Party chief Manoj Parab on Sunday took on both the BJP candidate Pallavi Dempo and Congress candidate Capt Viriato Fernandes on Sunday as the regional party intensified its Lok Sabha campaign in support of party candidate Rubert Pereira.
With the Congress labeling the RGP as the B team and the vote splitter, Parab said the RGP is in the fray as a matter of right given its status as the regional party.
While addressing an impressive meeting of party candidate Rubert Pereira at Aquem on Sunday, he questioned the Congress over its stance on Mhadei and track doubling project, saying the Congress double engine government in Goa and in Delhi was responsible for bringing the track doubling project in Goa.
Parab further questioned the rationale behind Captain Viriato sharing the dais with Goa Forward chief Vijai Sardesai and former MLA Alina Saldanha when he had criticised them in the past.
He questioned Sardesai for terming Pallavi Dempo as the Brand Dempo, saying the Goa Forward chief is promoting the BJP candidate for the South Goa seat.
The RGP chief also came down heavily on the BJP candidate Pallavi Dempo, wondering whether the BJP candidate has any idea of the issues facing the common man, ranging from inflation to unemployment.
Saying that Goa will be destroyed if the people of Goa do not vote for the RGP in the coming election, Parab exuded confidence that people vote for him and Rubert Pereira to save Goa.
