"We are winning both the seats and forming the government," said Naik, while campaigning in Usgao for Congress candidate Roy Naik for Valpoi by-election.
"We are getting tremendous response in both the constituencies. The picture of Panaji is also changed, people are welcoming us. This has encouraged our workers and we are sure of victory," he said. When asked about Valpoi, he said: "Ravi Naik has done so many development works in Usgao and Valpoi also. People know the facts and they will vote us and we will win."
