 BJP star campaigner and film star Isha Koppikar appealed to Goans to elect both BJP MPs in Goa and ensure a Modi-led BJP government in the centre for uninterrupted development and a progressive government.  

Koppikar, who recently joined the BJP as head of the women’s transport wing, was addressing a BJP public meeting at Zuarinagar.  

Others present at the meeting included Deputy Chief Minister Babu Ajgaonkar, BJP candidate Narendra Sawaikar, Rajya Sabha MP Vinay Tendulkar, Urban Development Minister Milind Naik, Panchayats Minister Mauvin Godinho, Cortalim MLA Alina Saldanha and BJP General Secretary Sadanand Shet Tanavade.  

Adv Narendra Savaikar said Narendra Modi had become a ‘chowkidar’ to instil fear in corrupt opposition politicians, adding that development works undertaken by the Modi-led government had never been witnessed by any other government in the last 50 years.   

“Housing for all is the thought of the PM and only Modi can ensure overall development of the nation,” 

he said.  

Panchayat Minister Mauvin Godinho said only Narendra Modi could turn India into a superpower and with Modi as PM, no country had the guts to look upon India as a weak country.  

Godinho claimed that despite a mining ban, development works like the new Zuari bridge, Atal Setu were in progress and the government also ensured that all schemes, salaries of government employees were delivered on time.  

Cortalim MLA Alina Saldanha said it was a dream of her late husband and BJP leader Matanhy Saldanha to have proper housing facilities by rehabilitation of slum dwellers and added that only BJP and a government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi could achieve such 

a scheme.
