After women from all faiths tied Rakhis on Sardesai, Lyndon Peireira, Ramdas Hazare and other, Sardesai said “this function today shows Fatorda’s inclusivity and tolerance of all faiths”, noting that women have always been the centre and the driving force of change in the constituency.
He thanked the women of Fatorda for all their support and sacrifice especially during the difficult COVID-19 lockdown and said, “even though times were so difficult, the women of Fatorda remained firm, resilient and empowered. You are the difference.”
Ramdas Hazare praised the party’s leadership and Vijai Sardesai, thanking him for making Fatorda a model constituency for Goa to emulate. He stressed that he has never left Vijai and has always been present for Raksha Bandhan every year, and remains close to the GFP family. He added: “It was Vijai who insisted that I should be back actively for all the work we have done to make Fatorda a unique and great constituency in Goa.
The GFP Chief stated that the party will ensure that all women are safe in the state and that the “negligence and incompetence of the BJP on women safety needs to be brought to an end urgently.” Sardesai made a note that “Goa needs to reposition it’s image from being a sin city from where anything goes, to a safe family destination where we can promote our good Goan culture and values.
