Over 60 villagers from Canacona joined AAP along with sitting panch member from Loliem-Polem Anoop Balkrishna Kudtarkar. A practicing criminal lawyer, Kudtarkar is famous for handling some of the top criminal cases in Goa he has also helped thousands of Goenkars with their cases for free and is known as a philanthropic lawyer. Before joining AAP Kudtarkar has worked for BJP since 2017 and was an active member of the Yuva Morcha in Canacona. He has also been a member of the Yuva Morcha state executive committee. Kudtarkar belongs to Akhil Goa Kshatriya Pagi Samaj. He is also the President of All India OBC Mahasabha Canacona Constituency. Kudtarkar said that Goenkars especially the residents of Canacona are tired of the misgovernance of the BJP and the betrayal by the Congress party. Kudtarkar is the sitting Panch Member of Village Panchayat Loliem-Polem, Canacona (Ward No. 6) from 2017-2022.
The Aam Aadmi Party's aggressive campaign in Goa has seen the party emerge as the true alternative to the BJP. Just last night the ABP C-Voter Survey showed that the fight in Goa would be a two way fight between AAP and BJP with AAP projected to have 22% vote share. The Aam Aadmi Party has been taking Arvind Kejriwal's guarantee for free 24/7 power aggressively to Goenkars in their own houses and handing out guarantee cards to each family to tell them that they can hold the party accountable to their promises after they win the election.
"The BJP and Congress are two sides of the same coin. One party buys MLAs the other grooms MLAs for purchase. In the middle of this Goenkars are ignored," said Kudtarkar.
"In Canacona residents voted for the Congress but the MLA switched over to the BJP. This move shocked not only Congress voters but voters of the BJP as well who now had an MLA they voted against," added Kudtarkar.
"It is very clear that AAP is the only way forward for Goa. In the past two week Goenkars from the Northernmost corners to the Southernmost corners of Goa have joined the party" said AAP Goa Convenor Rahul Mhambre.
